CVE-2013-4081

Wireshark 1.6.x < 1.6.16 and 1.8.x < 1.8.8 - Denial of Service via HTTP Dissector Recursion

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The http_payload_subdissector function in epan/dissectors/packet-http.c in the HTTP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly determine when to use a recursive approach, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted packet.
