Description

In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1, 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.15, the DICOM dissector could go into a large or infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c by preventing an offset overflow.

Solution(s)

  • wireshark-upgrade-2_2_16
  • wireshark-upgrade-2_4_8
  • wireshark-upgrade-2_6_2
