CVE-2012-6054 (CCN-80373)

Assigned:2012-11-28
Published:2012-11-28
Updated:2017-09-19
Summary:The dissect_sflow_245_address_type function in epan/dissectors/packet-sflow.c in the sFlow dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 does not properly handle length calculations for an invalid IP address type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a packet that is neither IPv4 nor IPv6.
