NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Ubuntu.

epan/dissectors/packet-bssgp.c in the BSSGP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.4 incorrectly relies on a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
