In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.5, the 6LoWPAN dissector could crash.

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.42%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.5, the 6LoWPAN dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-6lowpan.c by avoiding use of a TVB before its creation.
