CVE-2011-1959

The snoop_read function in wiretap/snoop.c in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.17
and 1.4.x before 1.4.7 does not properly handle certain virtualizable
buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) via a large length value in a snoop file that triggers
a stack-based buffer over-read.
