NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmaxminddb0 package and not the libmaxminddb0 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, 3.0.0 to 3.0.8, and 2.6.0 to 2.6.14, the EAP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-eap.c by using more careful sscanf parsing.
