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-dec-dnart.c in the DECnet NSP/RT dissector in Wireshark 1.10.12 through 1.10.14 mishandles a certain strdup return value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
