NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark-devel package and not the wireshark-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

epan/dissectors/packet-umts_fp.c in the UMTS FP dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.6 does not ensure that memory is allocated for certain data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write access and application crash) via a crafted packet.
