Ethereal.Multiple.Protocol.Dissector.DoS

description-logoDescription

This indicates an attack attempt to exploit a Denial of Service vulnerability in Ethereal/Wireshark.
The vulnerability is due to an input validation error when handling multiple protocol packet, such as WSP, Q.931, H.245, KINK, MGCP, RPC, SMBMailslot, and SMB NETLOGON. A remote attacker may be able to exploit this to cause a denial of service condition on the affected system.
