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 4.2.0 through 4.0.5
Wireshark versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.15
Description:
The issue is related to a crash in the SPRT dissector of Wireshark, which can be exploited to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved via packet injection or by using a crafted capture file. The vulnerability is associated with access to an uninitialized pointer, and its exploitation may allow an attacker to disrupt service by sending specially formed RTP packets.
Recommendations:
For Wireshark versions 4.2.0 through 4.0.5, update to a version that fixes the SPRT dissector crash issue.
For Wireshark versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.15, update to a version that fixes the SPRT dissector crash issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the SPRT dissector until a patch is available.
