CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Wireshark versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.12
Wireshark versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.6
Description
The issue is related to the CMS dissector in Wireshark, which could crash due to a lack of resource initialization. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The problem was addressed by ensuring that an object identifier is set to NULL after a ContentInfo dissection in the file epan/dissectors/asn1/cms/packet-cms-template.c.
Recommendations
For Wireshark versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.12, update to a version where the CMS dissector issue is fixed.
For Wireshark versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.6, update to a version where the CMS dissector issue is fixed.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the CMS dissector until a patch is available.
