CVE-2024-24476 (published 2024-02-21T19:15Z)

A buffer overflow in Wireshark before 4.2.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the pan/addr_resolv.c, and ws_manuf_lookup_str(), size components. NOTE: this is disputed by the vendor because neither release 4.2.0 nor any other release was affected.

msg: addr_resolv: Fix a heap buffer overflow

Make sure we always pass at least 6 bytes to ws_manuf_lookup_str().

Fixes #19344.
