Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.15 Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.7

Description The issue is related to the dissect capwap data function in the CAPWAP dissector, which incorrectly handles a -1 data value to represent an error condition. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, via a crafted packet.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.15, update to version 1.6.16 or later. For Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.7, update to version 1.8.8 or later.
