Wireshark Memory-Corruption Vulnerability
Wireshark is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because it fails to properly handle certain files. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.
Mitigation:
Users should exercise caution when opening files from untrusted sources.
