VAR-201706-0813

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:16

In Wireshark 2.2.7, PROFINET IO data with a high recursion depth allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq function in plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn-io.c. Wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal) is a suite of network packet analysis software developed by the Wireshark team. The function of the software is to intercept network packets and display detailed data for analysis. A security vulnerability exists in the \342\200\230dissect_IODWriteReq\342\200\231 function of the plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn-io.c file in Wireshark version 2.2.7. Wireshark is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle certain types of packets. Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. Wireshark 2.2.7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
