CVSS v3.1
5.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Wireshark versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.11
Wireshark versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.5
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow read in the RTSE dissector of the Wireshark network traffic analyzer, which could lead to a denial of service. This can be triggered by a remote attacker using a specially crafted trace file. The problem lies in the RTSE dissector and other ASN.1 dissectors, which could crash due to the lack of a length check in the get t61 string function.
Recommendations
For Wireshark versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.11, update to a version that includes the fix for the RTSE dissector issue.
For Wireshark versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.5, update to a version that includes the fix for the RTSE dissector issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the RTSE dissector until a patch is available.
