CVE-2016-7175
epan/dissectors/packet-qnet6.c in the QNX6 QNET dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.6 mishandles MAC address data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
