wireshark: CVE-2017-6014

Severity: High · CVSS 7.5CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Published: Feb 16, 2017, 12:00:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 3.23% · Oct 25, 2026

In Wireshark 2.2.4 and earlier, a crafted or malformed STANAG 4607 capture file will cause an infinite loop and memory exhaustion. If the packet size field in a packet header is null, the offset to read from will not advance, causing continuous attempts to read the same zero length packet. This will quickly exhaust all system memory.
