Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark version 2.2.0 ALT Linux (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to a crash in the Bluetooth L2CAP dissector, which can be triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This occurs due to the use of a seven-byte memcmp for potentially shorter strings.
