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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.2 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.10, the NetBIOS dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-netbios.c by ensuring that write operations are bounded by the beginning of a buffer.
