          <p>A vulnerability has been discovered in Wireshark, which can
          be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
          Service).</p>
          <p>The vulnerability is caused due to an infinite recursion
          error in the "dissect_unknown_ber()" function in
          epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c and can be exploited to cause a
          stack overflow e.g. via a specially crafted SNMP packet.</p>
          <p>The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.0 and
          reported in version 1.2.11 and prior and version 1.4.0 and
          prior.</p>
