certain strings.

validate the data type.

the algorithm ID.

limit the amount of header data.
- The 'dissect_ber_constrained_bitstring' function in 'epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c'
script in the ASN.1 BER dissector does not verify that a certain length
is nonzero.
- A heap-based buffer overflow error in 'wiretap/vwr.c' script in the
Ixia IxVeriWave file parser.
