NVD Description

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

The APN decode functionality in (1) epan/dissectors/packet-gtp.c and (2) epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_a_gm.c in the GTP and GSM Management dissectors in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not completely initialize a certain buffer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
