CVE-2015-8737
The mp2t_open function in wiretap/mp2t.c in the MP2T file parser in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate the bit rate, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted file.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
