This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Wireshark. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Wireshark is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. Exploiting these issues may allow attackers to crash the application and deny service to legitimate users. Attackers may also execute arbitrary code in the context of vulnerable users running the application. These issues affect Wireshark 0.9.0 through 1.2.5.
