epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_rlcmac.c in the GSM RLC/MAC dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 uses incorrect integer data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets a specially crafted packet make affected Wireshark versions hang while dissecting GSM RLC/MAC traffic. The business impact is denial of service to analysis workstations or automated packet-processing workflows, not data theft or code execution based on the provided sources. Exposure is limited to environments running Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7, especially systems opening untrusted packet captures or processing GSM RLC/MAC traffic. Treat as a maintenance-priority denial-of-service issue. Patch affected Wireshark systems, with higher urgency for shared analysis hosts or automated ingestion pipelines. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x installations to 1.12.7 or later.; Apply relevant vendor package updates from Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, or Oracle sources.; Avoid processing untrusted captures on affected Wireshark versions until patched..
