Wireshark is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle certain types of packets.
Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, resulting in denial-of-service conditions.
Wireshark 2.2.0 through 2.2.5 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.11 are vulnerable.
