MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.40%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.12 and 2.6.0 to 2.6.6, the ASN.1 BER and related dissectors could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c by preventing a buffer overflow associated with excessive digits in time values.
