Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Wireshark versions 3.6.0 through 3.6.18
Wireshark versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.10
Description
The issue is related to a NetScreen file parser crash in Wireshark, which can be exploited to cause a denial of service via a crafted capture file. This is due to a buffer overflow operation. The exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause a service disruption.
