The fragment_add_work function in epan/reassemble.c in Wireshark 0.8.19 through 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a series of fragmented packets with non-sequential fragmentation offset values, which lead to a buffer over-read.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Wireshark flaw can crash packet-analysis tools when they process specially fragmented network traffic. It affects Wireshark 0.8.19 through 1.0.1. The business risk is service interruption for analysts or automated monitoring, not proven data theft or system takeover in the supplied evidence. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems running Wireshark or tshark 0.8.19 through 1.0.1, especially analyst workstations, sensors, or automation that process untrusted captures or live traffic. Treat as a maintenance priority for legacy security tooling. It can disrupt network analysis workflows, but the provided evidence supports denial of service only and does not show active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory Wireshark and tshark versions across workstations, servers, and sensors.; Upgrade affected Wireshark packages using vendor advisories or current vendor guidance.; Prioritize systems that parse untrusted packet captures or monitor external traffic..
