Multiple buffer overflows in the dissect_pft_fec_detailed function in the DCP-ETSI dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1588 is a Wireshark crash vulnerability. A malformed packet can trigger buffer overflows in the DCP-ETSI dissector, causing the application to stop. The cited sources describe denial of service, not data theft or remote system takeover. Exposure is most likely where old Wireshark 1.6.x or 1.8.x builds are still installed and used to inspect untrusted captures or live network traffic containing malformed DCP-ETSI packets. Treat this as a legacy tooling hygiene issue. It can disrupt analysts or monitoring workflows if vulnerable Wireshark versions remain in use, but the cited evidence supports crash impact only. 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 relevant Debian or openSUSE vendor updates where those packages are used..
