CVE-2013-1586: The fragment_set_tot_len function in epan/reassemble.c in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1....

The fragment_set_tot_len function in epan/reassemble.c in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 does not properly determine the length of a reassembled packet for the DTLS dissector, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE can crash older Wireshark versions when they process a malformed DTLS packet. The impact is denial of service against the analysis tool, not evidence of system compromise. It matters most where analysts or automated workflows still run Wireshark 1.6.x or 1.8.x builds from early 2013 or earlier. Likely exposure is limited to legacy systems running affected Wireshark versions, including distribution packages covered by Debian and openSUSE advisories. Modern supported Wireshark deployments should be unaffected if updated beyond the fixed versions. Check analyst workstations, packet capture review systems, and security lab images. Prioritize as a legacy tool resilience issue. It can disrupt investigations by crashing Wireshark, but the provided sources do not support data theft, remote code execution, or active exploitation. Remediate during normal vulnerability maintenance unless affected legacy analysis systems are still operational. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark beyond 1.6.13 or 1.8.5, as applicable.; Apply relevant Debian or openSUSE security updates for packaged deployments.; Remove unsupported Wireshark builds from analyst workstations and lab images..
