Description Vincent Danen 2014-03-08 01:01:26 UTC

It was reported that Wireshark's RLC dissector could crash.  It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

This is reported to affect Wireshark versions 1.10.0 to 1.10.5 and 1.8.0 to 1.8.12.  It is fixed in 1.10.6 and 1.8.13.

Created wireshark tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1074118]

Comment 4 Peter Hatina 2014-03-12 12:09:00 UTC

Depends on: 1074904 <- Parent bug addresses RHEL-5.10.z

Using wireshark-1.0.15-5.el5

There is no such dissector, as the patch modifies: epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c
See commit 217293ba4a0353bf5d657e74fe8623dd3c86fe08 in Wireshark master.

Can you, please, investigate this flaw again?
