CVE-2015-8712
The dissect_hsdsch_channel_info function in epan/dissectors/packet-umts_fp.c in the UMTS FP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 does not validate the number of PDUs, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)…

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
