Format string vulnerability in the PROFINET/DCP (PN-DCP) dissector in Wireshark 1.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PN-DCP packet with format string specifiers in the station name. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Wireshark flaw where a specially crafted PROFINET/DCP packet could make vulnerable Wireshark or tshark run attacker-controlled code while dissecting traffic. The business risk is mainly to analyst workstations, sensors, or servers still running Wireshark 1.0.6 or earlier and processing untrusted captures or live PN-DCP traffic. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Wireshark or tshark 1.0.6 or earlier. Risk is highest where those tools process untrusted capture files or live PROFINET/DCP packets. Treat as high priority only if legacy Wireshark remains in use. For modern managed fleets, this is usually a legacy hygiene issue, but vulnerable packet-analysis systems can become an entry point. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark or tshark to a vendor-supported fixed package.; Apply relevant distribution advisories from Red Hat, Fedora, Debian, SUSE, or Mandriva.; Remove vulnerable Wireshark versions from analyst workstations and packet sensors..
