    Published: 3 Feb 2013Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: The fragment_set_tot_len function in epan/reassemble.c in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 does not properly determine the length of a reassembled packet for the DTLS dissector, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.
