CVE-2010-1455
The DOCSIS dissector in Wireshark 0.9.6 through 1.0.12 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.7 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet trace file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.70%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
