analyzer/protocol/dnp3/DNP3.cc in Bro before 2.3.2 does not reject certain non-zero values of a packet length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow or buffer over-read) via a crafted DNP3 packet.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
