Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the RF4CE Profile protocol dissector. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted packet trace file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and cause a denial of service condition on the system.
