Description Murray McAllister 2014-08-01 03:10:45 UTC

It was reported that Wireshark's Catapult DCT2000 and IrDA dissectors 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 1.10.8. It is fixed in 1.10.9.
