Description Martin Prpič 2016-02-29 09:38:43 UTC

It was reported that Wireshark's iSeries file parser 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.

The upstream advisory lists an incorrect CVE, it should be 2016, not 2015.
