The host is installed with Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 or 1.8.x before 1.8.4 and is prone to denial of service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to handle the dissect_wtp_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-wtp.c in the WTP dissector. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and infinite loop).
