CVE-2015-4651: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 3.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The dissect_wccp2r1_address_table_info function in epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c in the WCCP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.6 does not properly determine whether enough memory is available for storing IP address strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only
• Oracle Solaris: version 11.3 only
• Wireshark Wireshark: version 1.12.0 only; version 1.12.1 only; version 1.12.2 only; version 1.12.3 only; version 1.12.4 only; version 1.12.5 only
