CVE-2016-4415
wiretap/vwr.c in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.2 incorrectly increases a certain octet count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted file.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.72%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
