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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.5 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.11, the P_MUL dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-p_mul.c by rejecting the invalid sequence number of zero.
