The dissect_lbmr_pser function in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmr.c in the LBMR dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 does not reject a zero length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-3808 is a denial-of-service flaw in older Wireshark 1.12.x releases. A crafted LBMR packet can make Wireshark loop indefinitely while dissecting traffic. This affects availability of packet analysis, not confidentiality or code execution based on the supplied sources. Exposure is limited to systems running Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 that process LBMR traffic or crafted packet captures. Likely candidates are legacy analyst workstations, packet-inspection sensors, lab systems, or distro packages that were never updated. Treat this as a legacy tooling availability risk. Prioritize remediation where Wireshark supports monitoring, incident response, or automated packet processing. It is less urgent for fully patched environments or systems without vulnerable Wireshark deployments. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x installations to 1.12.5 or later.; Apply relevant distributor security updates, including Gentoo GLSA-201510-03 where applicable.; Remove vulnerable Wireshark versions from packet-processing workflows until updated..
