CVE-2013-4931
epan/proto.c in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet that is not properly handled by the GSM RR dissector.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
