epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 uses incorrect integer data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow, and heap memory corruption or NULL pointer dereference, and application crash) via a malformed packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service flaw in Wireshark's DCP ETSI packet dissector. A malformed packet could crash vulnerable Wireshark 1.8.x versions before 1.8.7. The main business risk is interruption of analyst workstations or packet-analysis tools, not confirmed data theft or remote system takeover. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7, especially analyst desktops, lab systems, or sensors that process captured or live DCP ETSI traffic. Treat as a targeted hygiene fix for legacy packet-analysis systems. Prioritize where Wireshark processes untrusted captures or live traffic, but do not escalate as actively exploited based on this source bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.8.x systems to 1.8.7 or later.; Apply fixed vendor packages from the relevant Linux distribution advisory.; Avoid opening untrusted packet captures on vulnerable Wireshark builds..
