Denial of service via Z39.50 protocol dissector crash

Summary

Z39.50 protocol dissector crash in Wireshark 4.6.0 to 4.6.6 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.16 allows denial of service A heap buffer overflow can occur when the dissector processes malformed Z39.50 records with partial directory entries, as the pre-allocated array size is calculated using floor division and does not account for additional partial entries. An attacker could exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted packet capture file, causing Wireshark to crash. This flaw requires user interaction, specifically opening a specially crafted packet capture file, limiting its immediate impact on typical server deployments.
