CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade wireshark to version 1.10.9 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The rlc_decode_li function in epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 initializes a certain structure member only after this member is used, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
