Buffer overflow in the dissect_iphc_crtp_fh function in epan/dissectors/packet-ppp.c in the PPP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE is a Wireshark crash issue. A specially crafted PPP packet can trigger a buffer overflow in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8, causing the application to terminate. The documented impact is denial of service to the analyst tool, not system compromise. Exposure is limited to environments running Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 where Wireshark processes untrusted or attacker-controlled PPP packets. Treat this as a targeted remediation item for security and network analysis workstations. Business risk is mainly analyst tool disruption and loss of availability during packet inspection, not confirmed host takeover. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.8.x installations to 1.8.8 or later.; Apply vendor fixed packages from Debian, Gentoo, or openSUSE where applicable.; Avoid processing untrusted PPP traffic with vulnerable Wireshark until upgraded..
