Description of problem: Wireshark was repored to crash with an evidence of a stack corruption when when dissecting certain BOOTP/DHCP traffic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Wireshark 0.99.5 Additional info: This is fixed in upstream revision 21947. I was not able to reproduce the crash on an x86_64 machine either with or without stack protector turned on. Will try on i386 later. Most likely this is just overflow by one word, so can not lead to arbitrary code execution.
