Double free vulnerability in epan/proto.c in the dissection engine in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.

wireshark was updated to 1.8.5 to fix bugs and security issues.

Vulnerabilities fixed :

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.5.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Errors exist related to the Bluetooth HCI, CSN.1,     DCP-ETSI DOCSIS CM-STAUS, IEEE 802.3 Slow Protocols,     MPLS, R3, RTPS, SDP, and SIP dissectors that could     allow the application to enter infinite or large loops,     thereby consuming excessive CPU resources. (Bugs 8036,     8037, 8038, 8040, 8041, 8042, 8043, 8198, 8199, 8222)

  - Errors exist related to the DCP-ETSI, ROHC, DTLS,     MS-MMC, DTN, CLNP dissectors that could allow them to     crash. (Bugs 7679, 7871, 7945, 8111, 8112, 8213)

  - An unspecified error could allow the dissection engine     to crash. (Bug 8197)

  - An unspecified buffer overflow exists in the NTLMSSP     dissector that has an unspecified impact.

The installed version of Wireshark 1.6 is earlier than 1.6.13.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
