Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Wireshark, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of NetScreen Snoop capture files and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.
