Wireshark Remote Denial-of-Service Vulnerability
Wireshark is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle certain types of packets. Attackers can exploit this issue to cause the application to enter an infinite loop which may cause denial-of-service conditions.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Wireshark.
