Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.61%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.5 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.13, the ADB dissector could crash with a heap-based buffer overflow. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-adb.c by checking for a length inconsistency.
