Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The dissect_btacl function in packet-bthci_acl.c in the Bluetooth ACL dissector in Wireshark 0.99.2 through 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or abort) via a packet with an invalid length, related to an erroneous tvb_memcpy call.
