The Bluetooth HCI ACL dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not properly maintain a certain free list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that is not properly handled by the wmem_block_alloc function in epan/wmem/wmem_allocator_block.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-5717 is a Wireshark crash bug in the Bluetooth HCI ACL packet dissector. If vulnerable Wireshark 1.10.x versions process a crafted packet, the application can crash. This is a denial-of-service issue for analysts and systems using Wireshark to inspect traffic, not evidence of server compromise. Exposure is mainly systems running Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.2 that inspect Bluetooth HCI ACL traffic or untrusted packet data. Production services are less directly exposed unless Wireshark is embedded in an automated analysis workflow. Prioritize cleanup where Wireshark processes untrusted captures or supports security operations. The likely business impact is analyst tool disruption and possible interruption of packet-analysis workflows, not broad infrastructure compromise based on the supplied evidence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.10.x installations to version 1.10.2 or later.; Check Wireshark advisory WNPA-SEC-2013-54 for vendor-specific remediation details.; Avoid processing untrusted Bluetooth HCI ACL packet data with vulnerable Wireshark versions..
