CVE-2015-3811: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2015-3811: epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c in the WCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12...

epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c in the WCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 improperly refers to previously processed bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2188.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can crash vulnerable Wireshark when it processes a specially crafted packet using the WCP dissector. It is a denial-of-service issue, not a cited data theft or code execution issue. Business urgency depends on whether old Wireshark 1.10.x or 1.12.x installations still process untrusted captures. Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations or systems still running the named legacy Wireshark branches and opening untrusted network traffic or packet captures. The source bundle does not identify broader affected products beyond Wireshark. Prioritize cleanup where legacy Wireshark is used in security operations or incident response. The impact is availability of analysis tooling, not confirmed system compromise, so this is usually a scheduled remediation unless vulnerable tools process hostile captures routinely. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.10.x to 1.10.14 or later.; Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x to 1.12.5 or later.; Apply relevant vendor security updates from Debian, Gentoo, Red Hat, or Oracle..
