CVE-2015-3808
The dissect_lbmr_pser function in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmr.c in the LBMR dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 does not reject a zero length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.74%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
