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/proto.c in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet that is not properly handled by the GSM RR dissector.
