CVE-2013-1587  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 wireshark to version 1.8.6-1 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The dissect_rohc_ir_packet function in epan/dissectors/packet-rohc.c in the ROHC dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.5 does not properly handle unknown profiles, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.
