Wireshark LDSS Dissector Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (Mac OS X). Successful exploitation crashes the application, affecting Wireshark versions 1.2.0 to 1.2.12 and 1.4.0 to 1.4.1. Heap based buffer overflow in 'dissect_ldss_transfer()' function allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an LDSS packet with a long digest line. Upgrade to Wireshark 1.4.2 or 1.2.13 later
