NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.2.0, the NCP dissector could crash, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/CMakeLists.txt by registering this dissector.
