Description Murray McAllister 2014-09-17 06:06:36 UTC 
It was reported that Wireshark's SES dissector 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 is reported to affect Wireshark versions 1.12.0, and 1.10.0 to 1.10.9. It is fixed in versions 1.12.1 and 1.10.10.

The version of Wireshark in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 is older than 1.10.x, and should not be affected. The version of Wireshark in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is affected.
