Dissectors of
   - ISAKMP, a Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol
   - P_MUL, a reliable multicast transfer protocol
   - 6LoWPAN, IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Network

    Mateusz Jurczyk found that a missing encryption block in a packet could
    crash the ISAKMP dissector.

CVE-2019-5717
   It was found that the P_MUL dissector could crash when a malformed
   packet contains an illegal Data PDU sequence number of 0.  Such a packet
   may not be analysed.

CVE-2019-5716
   It was found that the 6LoWPAN dissector could crash when a malformed
   packet does not contain IPHC information though the header says it
   should.


For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u17.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
