Impact
It may be possible to make Wireshark or Ethereal crash or use up available
memory by injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire or by
convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
Resolution
Upgrade to Wireshark 0.99.7.
If are running Wireshark 0.99.6 or Ethereal 0.99.0 or earlier and cannot
upgrade, you can work around each of the problems listed above by doing the
following:
* Disable the HTTP, DCP ETSI, SSL, DHCP/BOOTP, and MMS dissectors.
o Select Analyze -> Enabled Protocols... from the menu.
o Make sure "ANSI MAP", "BTSDP", "DCP (ETSI)", "DNP 3.0",
"FB/IPB GDS DB", "HTTP", "MEGACO", "NCP", "PPP", "SSL" are
un-checked.
o Click "Save", then click "OK".
