NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark-devel package and not the wireshark-devel package as distributed by Centos.

A Buffer Overflow in Wireshark before 4.2.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the wsutil/to_str.c, and format_fractional_part_nsecs components. NOTE: this is disputed by the vendor because neither release 4.2.0 nor any other release was affected.
