The dissect_zbee_secure function in epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-security.c in the ZigBee dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 improperly relies on length fields contained in packet data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-6244 is a crash bug in Wireshark's ZigBee security dissector. A crafted packet can make vulnerable Wireshark 1.12.x versions before 1.12.7 crash while analyzing traffic. The available sources describe denial of service, not data theft, code execution, or system takeover. Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations or packet-analysis workflows running Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 and processing ZigBee traffic or capture files. Organizations without ZigBee analysis workflows or with newer Wireshark versions have lower practical exposure. Treat this as a moderate operational reliability issue. It can interrupt investigations or analysis workflows, but the cited sources only support application crash impact. Remediate during normal patch cycles unless vulnerable Wireshark instances process untrusted ZigBee traffic regularly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x installations to 1.12.7 or later.; Apply relevant distribution security updates from Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, or Oracle Linux.; Avoid opening untrusted ZigBee captures on vulnerable Wireshark versions..
