CVE-2009-3551
Off-by-one error in the dissect_negprot_response function in packet-smb.c in the SMB dissector in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a file that records a malformed packet trace.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
