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-spice.c in the SPICE dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.2 mishandles capability data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop) via a crafted packet.
