Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions prior to 2.0.6

Description The issue is related to the H.225 dissector in Wireshark, where a crafted packet can cause a denial of service, leading to an application crash due to a copy overlap. This occurs because the snprintf function is called with one of its input buffers as the output buffer.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions prior to 2.0.6, update to version 2.0.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the H.225 dissector until a patch is available.
