CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/134.html

Format string vulnerability in the PROFINET/DCP (PN-DCP) dissector in Wireshark 1.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PN-DCP packet with format string specifiers in the station name. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Weakness

The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
