libwireshark11: The ascend_seek function in wiretap/ascendtext.c in the Ascend file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0....
CVE-2015-8729 is fixed in 10 products on 1 platform, first by libwireshark-data 2.6.3-1~ubuntu18.04.1, released August 29, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
The ascend_seek function in wiretap/ascendtext.c in the Ascend file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not ensure the presence of a '\0' character at the end of a date string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted file.
