Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Wireshark up to 1.12.6 (Packet Analyzer Software). This affects the function dissect_zbee_secure of the file epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-security.c of the component ZigBee Dissector. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

The dissect_zbee_secure function in epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-security.c in the ZigBee dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 improperly relies on length fields contained in packet data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

The weakness was released 08/24/2015 (Website). The advisory is shared at code.wireshark.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2015-6244 since 08/14/2015.
