CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9349
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to infinite loop in the DICOM dissector when validating a length value. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c onto the wire or persuade the target user to read a malformed packet trace file and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
