Wireshark Multiple Vulnerabilities(01) - August 2012 (Windows). Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, crash the affected application, or consume excessive CPU resources due to errors within the pcap-ng file parser, Ixia IxVeriWave file parser, and ERF dissector, as well as the MongoDB dissector. Upgrade to version 1.8.2 or later
