Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-06-10 12:05:49 UTC
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2013-4080 to the following vulnerability:

The dissect_r3_upstreamcommand_queryconfig function in epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the Assa Abloy R3 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly handle a zero-length item, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and CPU and memory consumption) via a crafted packet.

The version of wireshark shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 does not have support for Assa Abloy R3 Protocol. Therefore this flaw does not affect these versions.
