https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17935

The File_read_line function in epan/wslua/wslua_file.c in Wireshark
through 2.2.11 does not properly strip '\n' characters, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and
application crash) via a crafted packet that triggers the attempted
processing of an empty line.
