CVE-2014-5164  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 wireshark to version 1.12.0+git+4fab41a1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The rlc_decode_li function in epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 initializes a certain structure member only after this member is used, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
