Description:

   This update for wireshark to version 2.2.12 fixes the following issues:

   - CVE-2018-5334: IxVeriWave file could crash (bsc#1075737)
   - CVE-2018-5335: WCP dissector could crash (bsc#1075738)

     could have lead to denial of service (bsc#1074171)

   This release no longer enables the Linux kernel BPF JIT compiler via the
   net.core.bpf_jit_enable sysctl, as this would make systems more vulnerable
   to Spectre variant 1 CVE-2017-5753 - (bsc#1075748)
