CVE-2013-4074: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2013-4074: The dissect_capwap_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-capwap.c in the CAPWAP dissector in Wireshark 1....

The dissect_capwap_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-capwap.c in the CAPWAP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 incorrectly uses a -1 data value to represent an error condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability can make vulnerable Wireshark versions crash when they process a specially crafted CAPWAP packet. The direct business impact is analyst disruption and possible loss of packet-analysis continuity, not data theft or system takeover based on the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to systems running the affected Wireshark versions that inspect CAPWAP traffic or open captures containing crafted CAPWAP packets. Treat as a routine but necessary patch for security operations environments. Prioritize systems used by analysts or automated capture-processing workflows, because crashes can interrupt investigations and monitoring. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.6.x to 1.6.16 or later.; Upgrade Wireshark 1.8.x to 1.8.8 or later.; Apply relevant operating-system vendor security updates for packaged Wireshark builds..
