Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Wireshark, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. These issues are due to errors in the TCP, HTTP, IEEE 802.11 and LLT protocol dissectors when processing malformed packets, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash an affected application or exhaust all available resources via a specially crafted packet or trace file, creating a denial of service condition.
