CVE-2015-8737: Wireshark

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The mp2t_open function in wiretap/mp2t.c in the MP2T file parser in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate the bit rate, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted file.

Affected products
