Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

epan/dissectors/packet-qnet6.c in the QNX6 QNET dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.6 mishandles MAC address data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet.
