Description Murray McAllister 2014-06-13 06:29:28 UTC

It was reported that Wireshark's Frame metadissector could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

This is reported to affect Wireshark versions 1.10.0 to 1.10.7.  It is fixed in 1.10.8.
