Heap-based buffer overflow in the erf_read_header function in wiretap/erf.c in the ERF file parser in Wireshark 1.4.0 through 1.4.9 and 1.6.x before 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed file.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
