Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read in the DOF dissector when validating a size value. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet epan/dissectors/packet-dof.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.
