Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-01-31 08:43:07 EST
A denial of service flaw was found in the way ROHC dissector of Wireshark, a network traffic analyzer, performed dissection of certain ROHC packet capture files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted ROHC packet / packet capture that, when processed, would lead to tshark executable to crash, when trying to process the crafted packet / packet capture file.
