Description Vincent Danen 2013-11-04 22:44:56 UTC

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2013-6340 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2013-6340
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6340
Assigned: 20131031
Reference: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c?r1=52570&r2=52569&pathrev=52570
Reference: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=52570
Reference: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9263

epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c in the TCP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x
before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 does not properly determine the
amount of remaining data, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
