Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the IPv6 dissector due to improper validation of an IPv6 address. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet epan/dissectors/packet-ipv6.c onto the wire or persuade the target user to read a malformed packet trace file and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
