Discussion

Wireshark Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

Wireshark is prone to multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities.

An attacker can exploit these issues by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed pcap file.

Attackers can exploit these issues to cause the application to enter an infinite loop consuming excessive CPU resources, denying service to legitimate users.

Wireshark 2.4.0 through 2.4.4, and 2.2.0 through 2.2.12 are vulnerable.
