Description Martin Prpič 2015-01-08 14:52:14 UTC

It was reported that Wireshark's LPP dissector 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 1.12.0 to 1.12.2, and 1.10.0 to 1.10.11. It is fixed in versions 1.12.3 and 1.10.12.
