Wireshark Multiple Vulnerabilities in March-11 for Windows with versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3. Successful exploitation could lead to buffer overflow and arbitrary code execution or application crash. The flaws are due to improper bounds checking and errors in 'wiretap/pcapng.c' allowing remote attackers to cause denial of service
