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 3.2.0 to 3.2.6, 3.0.0 to 3.0.13, and 2.6.0 to 2.6.20, the MIME Multipart dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-multipart.c by correcting the deallocation of invalid MIME parts.
