The dissect_cmstatus_tlv function in plugins/docsis/packet-cmstatus.c in the DOCSIS CM-STATUS dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 uses an incorrect data type for a position variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Wireshark denial-of-service issue in the DOCSIS CM-STATUS packet parser. A malformed packet could make affected Wireshark versions hang in an infinite loop. The source bundle identifies fixed Wireshark releases, but provides no evidence of data theft, code execution, or active exploitation. Exposure is mainly legacy systems running Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 or 1.8.x before 1.8.5, especially analysts processing DOCSIS traffic or untrusted packet captures. Modern supported Wireshark deployments are unlikely to be exposed, but package versions should be verified. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue, not an emergency. Prioritize remediation where old Wireshark versions remain on security, telecom, or network analysis workstations handling untrusted captures. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.6.x to 1.6.13 or later.; Upgrade Wireshark 1.8.x to 1.8.5 or later.; Apply vendor distribution updates where Wireshark is managed by the OS..
