Summary
Wireshark 4.6.8 fixes 28 security bugs in the packet analyzer, including nine issues in file parsers that can be triggered by opening a crafted capture file. The release also patches multiple dissector crashes, sharkd crashes, and several memory-safety bugs that do not have advisory numbers.
