CVE-2017-9766

CVSS v3.1

7.5

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark version 2.2.7
Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a stack exhaustion, in the dissect IODWriteReq function. This occurs when handling PROFINET IO data with a high recursion depth.
Recommendations For Wireshark version 2.2.7, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of stack exhaustion due to high recursion depth in PROFINET IO data handling. As a temporary workaround, restrict the handling of PROFINET IO data to minimize the risk of exploitation.

Fix

DoS

Uncontrolled Recursion
