MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.44%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.44%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.5 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.11, the P_MUL dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-p_mul.c by rejecting the invalid sequence number of zero.
