Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.59%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.7, the OpenFlow dissector could crash with memory exhaustion, triggered by network traffic or a capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-openflow_v5.c by ensuring that certain length values were sufficiently large.
