Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.11 Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.3

Description The issue is related to the dissect wtp common function in the WTP dissector, which uses an incorrect data type for a certain length field. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an integer overflow and infinite loop, via a crafted value in a packet.
