Description Andrej Nemec 2018-07-23 09:53:38 UTC 
It was found that HTTP2 dissector could crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2018-07-23 09:57:42 UTC 
Created wireshark tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1607334]
Comment 3 Pedro Yóssis Silva Barbosa 2018-08-07 18:37:14 UTC 
The wireshark versions shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 do not have the HTTP2 dissector functionality. Thus, they are not affected by this issue.
Comment 4 Pedro Yóssis Silva Barbosa 2018-08-07 18:37:27 UTC 
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of wireshark as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 (versions 1.8.10 and 1.10.14, respectively).
