The dissect_protocol_data_parameter function in epan/dissectors/packet-m3ua.c in the M3UA dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.6 does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted SS7 MTP3 packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-2282 is a Wireshark crash flaw in the M3UA protocol dissector. A crafted SS7 MTP3 packet can make affected Wireshark 1.10.x versions crash. The business impact is interruption of packet analysis, not data theft or server takeover based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations, monitoring systems, or packet-processing workflows that use Wireshark 1.10.x and inspect SS7/MTP3/M3UA traffic or captures. General web-facing infrastructure is not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a targeted availability risk for packet-analysis operations. Prioritize remediation where Wireshark is used in telecom, SS7, incident response, or monitoring workflows. It is lower urgency for environments that do not process M3UA or SS7 captures. Mitigation focus: Update Wireshark 1.10.x installations to 1.10.6 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant OS vendor Wireshark updates where Wireshark is package-managed.; Avoid opening untrusted SS7/MTP3/M3UA captures on unpatched systems..
