CVE-2017-6014

Description

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.

Weakness classification

• CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
