Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2012-01-20 06:13:28 UTC

Wireshark failed to properly check record sizes for many packet capture file formats.  It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.  This is corrected in upstream 1.4.11 and 1.6.5.
