Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to the (1) BACapp and (2) Bluetooth HCI dissectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2392.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-3825 is a denial-of-service flaw in older Wireshark releases. A malicious input handled by specific protocol dissectors could make Wireshark enter an infinite loop, disrupting packet analysis. It affects Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8. Exposure is mainly systems still running Wireshark 1.4.x or 1.6.x before the fixed releases, especially where analysts inspect untrusted packet captures or protocol traffic involving BACapp or Bluetooth HCI. Treat this as a hygiene and operational resilience issue. It is unlikely to drive emergency response without evidence of exploitation, but outdated Wireshark on security workstations can disrupt investigations and should be remediated promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark to 1.4.13, 1.6.8, or a later supported version.; Remove unsupported Wireshark versions from workstations and analysis servers.; Avoid opening untrusted captures with affected versions until upgraded..
