CVE-2011-2597
The Lucent/Ascend file parser in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.18, 1.4.x through 1.4.7, and 1.6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed packets.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.50%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
