The MRDISC dissector could crash (CVE-2017-17997). The IxVeriWave file parser could crash (CVE-2018-5334). The WCP dissector could crash (CVE-2018-5335). Multiple dissectors could crash (CVE-2018-5336). Prior to this release dumpcap enabled the Linux kernel’s BPF JIT compiler via the net.core.bpf_jit_enable sysctl. This could make systems more vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 and this feature has been removed (CVE-2017-5753).
