TITLE:
Wireshark PROFINET DCP Format String Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34542

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34542/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Wireshark, which can
potentially be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error within the
PN-DCP dissector when processing station names containing format
string specifiers. This can be exploited to cause a crash and
potentially execute arbitrary code via specially crafted packets
captured off the wire or loaded via a capture file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.6. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Disable support for the "PN-DCP" protocol.
