Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 0.99.6 through 0.99.8

Description The issue is related to the "decode as" feature in the SCCP dissector, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This can be achieved by sending a malformed packet.
