NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.4.0, 2.2.0 to 2.2.8, and 2.0.0 to 2.0.14, the IrCOMM dissector has a buffer over-read and application crash. This was addressed in plugins/irda/packet-ircomm.c by adding length validation.
