Id Description
70244 Wireshark ENTTEC Dissector epan/dissectors/packet-enttec.c dissect_enttec_dmx...

Wireshark is prone to an overflow condition. The the 'dissect_enttec_dmx_data()' function fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted packet sent to UDP port 3333, a remote attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
