Description Vincent Danen 2012-08-15 21:41:32 UTC 
It may be possible to make Wireshark exit prematurely by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

Affects 1.4.0 to 1.4.14, 1.6.0 to 1.6.9, 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 and is fixed in upstream 1.8.2, 1.6.10, and 1.4.15 versions.
