CVE-2013-1573

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.12 Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.4

Description The issue arises from the csnStreamDissector function in the CSN.1 dissector, which fails to properly handle a large number of padding bits. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop, by sending a malformed packet.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.12, update to version 1.6.13 or later. For Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.4, update to version 1.8.5 or later.
