NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the DHCP dissector could read past the end of a buffer. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c by extracting the Vendor Class Identifier more carefully.
