Wireshark, the world's most popular open-source, cross-platform, and free network analyzer software, has been updated to version 1.12.5, a release that fixes numerous issues, patches important security vulnerabilities, and updates protocol support.

Numerous bugs had been fixed as well, such as a crash that occurred when the "Update list of packets in real time" option got disabled and a displayed filter was applied during packet capturing, and another crash that took place when using Telephony and VoIP calls.

Furthermore, wrong EAPOL 4-way handshake information was fixed, a buffer overrun in the encryption code has been patched, the missing "tcp.pdu.size" field was added to the TCP stack, an infinite loop DoS in the ForCES dissector has been addressed, and RPC NULL calls are no longer flagged as malformed.
