In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.12 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.4, the IPMI dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ipmi-picmg.c by adding support for crafted packets that lack an IPMI header.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by checking for integer wraparound.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c had a large loop that was addressed by ensuring that a calculated length was monotonically increasing.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, the FCP protocol dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-fcp.c by checking for a NULL pointer.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-thrift.c had a large loop that was addressed by not proceeding with dissection after encountering an unexpected type.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-usb.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by rejecting short frame header lengths.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-rpcrdma.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by validating a chunk size.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by validating a length.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-thread.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by using a correct integer data type.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-s7comm.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by correcting off-by-one errors.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-rpki-rtr.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by validating a length field.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-lltd.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by using a correct integer data type.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4, the DOCSIS protocol dissector could crash. This was addressed in plugins/docsis/packet-docsis.c by removing the recursive algorithm that had been used for concatenated PDUs.
In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.12 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.4, the SIGCOMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-sigcomp.c by correcting the extraction of the length value.
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-openflowv6.c had an infinite loop that was addressed by validating property lengths.
