CVE-2019-10899
In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the SRVLOC dissector could crash.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.59%). 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 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the SRVLOC dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-srvloc.c by preventing a heap-based buffer under-read.
