Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.8 Wireshark versions 2.0.x through 2.0.0

Description The issue is related to the dissect rsvp common function in the RSVP dissector, which does not properly maintain request-key data. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a use-after-free and application crash, via a crafted packet.
