The dissect_r3_upstreamcommand_queryconfig function in epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the Assa Abloy R3 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly handle a zero-length item, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, and CPU and memory consumption) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects old Wireshark 1.8 releases. A specially crafted packet could make Wireshark loop indefinitely and consume CPU and memory, disrupting packet analysis. It is a denial-of-service issue against the analyst tool, not evidence of system takeover. Sources identify Wireshark 1.8.8 as the corrected release. Exposure is mainly systems still running Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8, including distribution packages based on those builds. Risk is higher for analysts opening untrusted capture files or monitoring traffic where crafted Assa Abloy R3 packets may be present. Address during normal vulnerability maintenance unless legacy packet-analysis workstations process untrusted captures. The business impact is loss of analysis availability, not confirmed compromise. Upgrade or replace obsolete Wireshark installations because this release line is very old. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark to 1.8.8 or later.; Apply fixed vendor packages from affected Linux distributions.; Prioritize analyst workstations that process untrusted packet captures..
