CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 wireshark to version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

The dissect_spdu function in epan/dissectors/packet-ses.c in the SES dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not initialize a certain ID value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
