Description Vincent Danen 2014-03-08 00:54:26 UTC 
It was reported that Wireshark's MPEG file parser could overflow a buffer.  It may be possible to make Wireshark crash or execute malicious code by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

This is reported to affect Wireshark versions 1.10.0 to 1.10.5 and 1.8.0 to 1.8.12.  It is fixed in 1.10.6 and 1.8.13.
