(wnpa-sec-2012-40)

Infinite and large loops in the Bluetooth HCI, CSN.1, DCP-ETSI DOCSIS CM-STAUS, IEEE 802.3 Slow Protocols, MPLS, R3, RTPS, SDP, and SIP dissectors (wnpa-sec-2013-01).

The CLNP dissector could crash (wnpa-sec-2013-02).

The DTN dissector could crash (wnpa-sec-2013-03).

The MS-MMC dissector (and possibly others) could crash (wnpa-sec-2013-04).
