    parser does not ensure that a '\0' character is present at the end of
    certain strings.

  - The 'epan/dissectors/packet-hiqnet.c' script in the HiQnet dissector does not
    validate the data type.

  - The 'epan/dissectors/packet-x509af.c' script in the X.509AF dissector mishandles
    the algorithm ID.

  - 'epan/dissectors/packet-http2.c' script in the HTTP/2 dissector does not
    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.

  - An error in NFS dissector.

  - 'epan/dissectors/packet-spice.c' script in the SPICE dissector in
    mishandles capability data.

  - 'epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c' script in the IEEE 802.11 dissector
    mishandles the Grouping subfield.");
