Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The ipmi_fmt_udpport function in epan/dissectors/packet-ipmi.c in the IPMI dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 improperly attempts to access a packet scope, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted packet.
Remediation
