recursion depth, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
crafted packet. (CVE-2016-6513)

- epan/dissectors/packet-packetbb.c in the PacketBB dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.13 and 2.x
before 2.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application
crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2016-6505)

- epan/dissectors/packet-wsp.c in the WSP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.13 and 2.x before 2.0.5

- epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.13 and 2.x before 2.0.5
uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large
loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2016-6508)

- epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c in the LDSS dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.13 and 2.x before
