Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-05-23 12:23:18 UTC 
Infinite loop denial of service flaws were reported against various Wireshark dissectors:
[1] https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6805 (802.11)
[2] https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7118 (802.3)
[3] https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7119 (ANSIMAP)
[4] https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7120 (ASF)
[5] https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7124 (LTP)

A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted packet capture file, which once opened in Wireshark could lead to denial of service.
