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.

epan/dissectors/packet-catapult-dct2000.c in the Catapult DCT2000 dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.6 does not restrict the number of channels, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted packet.
