Description Martin Prpič 2016-02-29 09:40:43 UTC 
It was reported that Wireshark's SPICE dissector could enter a large loop. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash or consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
