NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark-gnome package and not the wireshark-gnome package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The http_payload_subdissector function in epan/dissectors/packet-http.c in the HTTP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly determine when to use a recursive approach, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted packet.
