epan/proto.c in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 does not properly handle integer data types greater than 32 bits in size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled by the LLDP dissector.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Wireshark denial-of-service flaw. A specially crafted LLDP packet could make vulnerable Wireshark 1.12.x versions exit unexpectedly while dissecting traffic. It threatens analyst productivity and monitoring continuity, not confidentiality or code execution based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations, packet review systems, or automated workflows running Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 and processing LLDP traffic or packet captures containing LLDP frames. Treat as a routine but real operational availability issue. Prioritize remediation where Wireshark is used for incident response, network monitoring, or automated packet analysis, because crashes during analysis can slow investigations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x installations to 1.12.4 or a supported fixed vendor package.; Apply relevant distribution advisories for openSUSE, Gentoo, Oracle, or other packaged Wireshark builds.; Limit use of vulnerable Wireshark builds on untrusted packet captures until upgraded..
