CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade wireshark to version 1.4.11, 1.6.5 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Buffer overflow in the reassemble_message function in epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a series of fragmented RLC packets.
