Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-01-03 16:46:43 UTC 
An array index error, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow, 
was found in the way the ENTTEC dissector of Wireshark network 
traffic analyzer processed certain captures.

A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause wireshark executable
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running wireshark, if the local user opened a
specially-crafted DMX data capture file, with Run Length Encoding (RLE)
used for compression of the DMX signal.
