 Security issues fixed:

 - CVE-2025-9817: SSH dissector crash due to NULL pointer dereference when processing malformed packet traces (bsc#1249090).

 Non-security issues fixed:

 - Bug in UDS dissector with Service ReadDataByPeriodicIdentifier Response.
 - Incorrectly parsed `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` key following a name-value byte sequence with no `=`.
