Vulnerability Type: DoS Overflow 
CWE ID: CWE-119
Summary: wiretap/cosine.c in the CoSine file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.12 and 2.x before 2.0.4 mishandles sscanf unsigned-integer processing, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.
Commit Message: Don't treat the packet length as unsigned.

The scanf family of functions are as annoyingly bad at handling unsigned
numbers as strtoul() is - both of them are perfectly willing to accept a
value beginning with a negative sign as an unsigned value.  When using
strtoul(), you can compensate for this by explicitly checking for a '-'
as the first character of the string, but you can't do that with
sscanf().

So revert to having pkt_len be signed, and scanning it with %d, but
check for a negative value and fail if we see a negative value.
