Impact: It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.Please use CVE-2012-0041 for this issue
There are 6 file format crashes here. In the interest of vendors, which dont always rebase to the newer version, would it be convenient to split these into 6 CVEs?
I doubt some older versions are affected by only some crashers. -- Huzaifa Sidhpurwala / Red Hat Security Response Team
