CVE-2016-5350
epan/dissectors/packet-dcerpc-spoolss.c in the SPOOLS component in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.12 and 2.x before 2.0.4 mishandles unexpected offsets, 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 (2.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
