NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bro package and not the bro package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

analyzer/protocol/dnp3/DNP3.cc in Bro before 2.3.2 does not properly handle zero values of a packet length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow or buffer over-read if NDEBUG; otherwise assertion failure) via a crafted DNP3 packet.
