CVE-2012-0042 wireshark: NULL pointer vulnerabilities (wnpa-sec-2012-02)
Wireshark was improperly handling NULL pointers when displaying packet information which could lead to a crash. 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. This is corrected in upstream 1.4.11 and 1.6.5.

Discussion:
Created wireshark tracking bugs for this issue
Affects: fedora-all [bug 781268]
---
The upstream patch for this issue does two things:
1. Check some functions in epan/to_str.c for NULL arguments and bail out if these are NULL. It also documents that some functions return non-null terminated strings
