Note: This vulnerability only affects versions 1.6.0 to 1.6.1. Additionally, an error within the buffer exception handling can result in a crash when opening a malformed packet trace file. SOLUTION: Update to versions 1.4.9 or 1.6.2. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Penetration test team of NCNIPC (China) 2, 3) Reported by the vendor.
