Wireshark 2.0.5 is here to resolved over 20 issues reported by users since the previous maintenance update, version 2.0.4, as well as to update the protocol and capture file support. It’s worth noting that Wireshark 2.0.5 promises to patch a total of nine security vulnerabilities. These security patches fix issues and crashes that occurred with various core components of Wireshark, including the CORBA IDL dissector, LDSS dissector, and RLC dissector, as well as PacketBB. Infinite loop issues with MMSE, WAP, WBXML, and WSP were addresses as well, along with long loop problems with OpenFlow and RLC.
