Impact
It may be possible to make Wireshark crash, hang, or execute code by injecting a series of malformed packets onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

Upgrade to Wireshark 1.0.15 or later. Due to the nature of these bugs we do not recommend trying to work around the problem by disabling dissectors.
