CVE-2012-1594 wireshark: Infinite loop in the IEEE 802.11 dissector
A denial of service flaw was found in the way IEEE 802.11 dissector of Wireshark, a network traffic analyzer, processed certain capture files (16-bit integers were used as counters during loading of capture files for certain protocols). A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted packet capture file, which once opened by a local unsuspecting user would lead to situation, where wireshark executable would never finish loading of such capture file (infinite loop).
