Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.12

Description The issue is related to the NDS dissector in Wireshark, where the epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc file does not properly maintain a ptvc data structure. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and application crash, via a crafted packet.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.12, update to version 1.12.13 or later to resolve the issue.
