NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.5 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.11, the ISAKMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-isakmp.c by properly handling the case of a missing decryption data block.
