Hello Steve,

  any progress while splitting this CVE id into two different ones?
(or will we need to address the problem of different vulnerable Wireshark versions in relevant dissectors in some other way?)

Thanks && Regards, Jan.

Hello Steve, vendors,

1, thank you for the prompt assignment.
  2, what's related to:

    Name: CVE-2009-2560
    Status: Candidate
    URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2560
Final-Decision: Interim-Decision: Modified: Proposed: Assigned: 20090721 Category: Reference: CONFIRM:http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2009-04.html

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Wireshark 1.2.0 allow remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors
    in the (1) Bluetooth L2CAP, (2) RADIUS, or (3) MIOP dissectors.

    This one will need to be split into two different ones, because:

    a, the Bluetooth L2CAP and MIOP dissectors flaws are affecting only
version Wireshark 1.2.0 (as mentioned in upstream's wnpa-sec-2009-04.html)

    b, but the RADIUS dissector issue affects also prior versions of
Wireshark -- issue / crash confirmed also in upstreams Wireshark-1.0.8.

  Could you please split the CVE-2009-2560 into two CVE ids?
  (one for the L2CAP, MIOP dissectors, other one for
   the RADIUS).

Thanks && Regards, Jan.

P.S.: Affected Wireshark versions in other CVE identifiers
      assigned within this update are sane.
