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-h225.c in the H.225 dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.6 calls snprintf with one of its input buffers as the output buffer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (copy overlap and application crash) via a crafted packet.
