Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Wireshark versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.10
Description
The issue is related to a crash in the SSH dissector of Wireshark, allowing for denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file. This can be exploited by a remote attacker, potentially causing a service disruption by sending specially crafted packets. The problem is associated with insufficient sanitization of special elements in the output used by the incoming component.
Recommendations

At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
