Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.77%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In Wireshark 3.0.0 to 3.0.1, 2.6.0 to 2.6.8, and 2.4.0 to 2.4.14, the dissection engine could crash. This was addressed in epan/packet.c by restricting the number of layers and consequently limiting recursion.
