Description Laura Pardo 2018-05-23 11:34:34 EDT

A flaw was found in Wireshark 2.6.0, 2.4.0 to 2.4.6, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.14, the RRC dissector and other 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 was addressed in epan/proto.c by avoiding a NULL pointer dereference.
