This issue was patched in ELSA-2013-1569.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The IsDFP_Frame function in plugins/profinet/packet-pn-rt.c in the PROFINET Real-Time dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not validate MAC addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet.
