CVE-2015-8726

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.8 Wireshark versions 2.0.x through 2.0.0

Description The issue concerns the VeriWave file parser in Wireshark, where certain signature and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) data is not properly validated. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an out-of-bounds read and application crash, via a crafted file.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.8, update to version 1.12.9 or later. For Wireshark versions 2.0.x through 2.0.0, update to version 2.0.1 or later.
