Wireshark contains a vulnerability in the SSCOP dissector that may cause a denial of service condition.
Wireshark contains a vulnerability in the Service-Specific Connection Oriented Protocol (SSCOP) dissector.
Wireshark states that:
_If the SSCOP dissector has a port range configured and the SSCOP payload protocol is Q.2931, a malformed packet could make the Q.2931 dissector use up available memory. No port range is configured by default. _
Wireshark states that Wireshark versions 0.7.9 - 0.99.2 are vulnerable.
Note: Ethereal has changed its name to Wireshark.
By sending a malformed packet, a remote attacker may be able to cause the Q2931 dissector to exceed the available memory and cause a denial of service condition.

Wireshark has released an updated product version (Wireshark 0.99.3)
.
