CVE-2014-6426 [MEDIUM] CVE-2014-6426 wireshark: HIP dissector infinite loop (wnpa-sec-2014-16)
CVE-2014-6426 wireshark: HIP dissector infinite loop (wnpa-sec-2014-16)
An infinite loop issue was discovered in Wireshark's HIP dissector. It may be possible to make Wireshark consume an excessive amount of CPU by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
This is reported to affect version 1.12.0. This version is not shipped in Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
