Description Murray McAllister 2014-09-17 06:04:53 UTC

A flaw was reported in Wireshark's DOS Sniffer file parser. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash or execute arbitrary code by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

This is reported to affect Wireshark versions 1.12.0, and 1.10.0 to 1.10.9. It is fixed in versions 1.12.1 and 1.10.10.

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10461

The version of Wireshark in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 is older than 1.10.x, and should not be affected. The version of Wireshark in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is affected.
