Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions prior to 4.2.0

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the dissect bgp open() function of Wireshark when handling extended BGP parameter formats. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The dissect bgp open() function, located in packet-bgp.c, is vulnerable due to the optlen components.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions prior to 4.2.0, update to version 4.2.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the dissect bgp open() function until a patch is available.
