The dissect_wtp_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-wtp.c in the WTP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4 uses an incorrect data type for a certain length field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and infinite loop) via a crafted value in a packet.

wireshark: DoS (infinite loop) in the WTP dissector (wnpa-sec-2012-37)
[REJECTED CVE] A denial of service flaw was found in the way WTP dissector of Wireshark, a network traffic analyzer, performed dissection of certain WTP packet capture files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted WTP packet / packet capture that, once processed, would lead to excessive CPU consumption or into situation where tshark executable would enter an infinite loop, when trying to process the crafted packet / packet capture file.
Statement: This CVE has been rejected. This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2012-6061. Note: All CVE users should reference CVE-2012-6061 instead of this candidate.
