CVE-2006-1938
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Ethereal 0.8.x up to 0.10.14 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash from null dereference) via the (1) Sniffer capture or (2) SMB PIPE dissector.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.70%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
