The dissect_schedule_message function in epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_cbch.c in the GSM CBCH dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and application hang) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects old Wireshark 1.8.x releases before 1.8.8. A specially crafted packet could make Wireshark hang while dissecting GSM CBCH traffic. The impact is denial of service to the analyst application, not evidence of system takeover. Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations or systems running Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 that inspect untrusted captures or traffic containing GSM CBCH data. Treat as a targeted availability risk for packet-analysis workflows. Prioritize cleanup where Wireshark handles untrusted captures or supports incident response operations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.8.x installations to 1.8.8 or later.; Apply vendor-patched packages from relevant Linux distribution advisories.; Avoid opening untrusted captures on vulnerable Wireshark versions..
