epan/dissectors/packet-diameter.c in the DIAMETER dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 does not properly construct certain array data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that triggers incorrect memory allocation.
Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 on the SPARC and Itanium platforms does not properly perform data alignment for a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a (1) ICMP or (2) ICMPv6 Echo Request packet.
Multiple integer underflows in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via vectors related to the R3 dissector, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2392.
Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to the (1) ANSI MAP, (2) ASF, (3) IEEE 802.11, (4) IEEE 802.3, and (5) LTP dissectors.
Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to the (1) BACapp and (2) Bluetooth HCI dissectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2392.
The PPP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.14, 1.6.x before 1.6.9, and 1.8.x before 1.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet, as demonstrated by a usbmon dump.
The dissecthsrp function in epan/dissectors/packet-hsrp.c in the HSRP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed packet.
epan/dissectors/packet-ppp.c in the PPP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.3 uses incorrect OUI data structures during the decoding of (1) PPP and (2) LCP data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a malformed packet.
The SMB dissector in Wireshark 0.99.6 through 1.0.13, and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via unknown vectors.
The SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine dissector in Wireshark 0.10.7 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unknown vectors.
The SMB PIPE dissector in Wireshark 0.8.20 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via unknown vectors.
Unspecified vulnerability in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.99.6 through 1.0.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Tektronix .rf5 file.
Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.10.14 through 1.0.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a packet with crafted zlib-compressed data that triggers an invalid read in the tvbuncompress function.
epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c in the NFS dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.14, 1.6.x before 1.6.9, and 1.8.x before 1.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted packet.
The prototreeadditem function in Wireshark 1.6.0 through 1.6.1 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.8, when the IKEv1 protocol dissector is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors involving a malformed IKE packet and many items in a tree.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-3145 to the following vulnerability:
An unspecified flaw packet reassemblin in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.8.19 through 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via unknown vectors.

An uninitialized variable in the CSN.1 dissector in Wireshark 1.6.0 through 1.6.2 could cause Wireshark to crash by reading a malformed packet trace file or if someone were to inject a malformed packet onto the the wire. This is corrected in wireshark 1.6.3.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way Wireshark processed certain Diameter dictionary files. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted dictionary file, which once used, by a local, unsuspecting user when loading a Diameter capture file could lead to wireshark application crash.
