Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 0.6.0 through 0.99.7

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a crash or excessive memory consumption, via a malformed packet. This might be related to a bug in the Cairo library.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 0.6.0 through 0.99.7, consider updating to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the TFTP dissector to minimize the risk of exploitation.
