Description Andreas Stieger 2016-07-28 09:59:20 UTC 
Wireshark 2.0.5 and 1.12.13

The MMSE, WAP, WBXML, and WSP dissectors could go into an infinite loop. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. Affects 2.0.0 to 2.0.4, fixed in 2.0.5.
