Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Wireshark, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error in the "OpcUa" dissector can be exploited to exhaust CPU and memory resources via a specially crafted "Service CallRequest" packet.
This vulnerability is reported in version 0.99.6 through 1.0.8 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.1.
2) An assertion error in the "GSM A RR" dissector can be exploited to cause a crash.
