Buffer overflow in the channelised_fill_sdh_g707_format function in epan/dissectors/packet-erf.c in the ERF dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large speed (aka rate) value.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
