CVE-2015-6247: The dissect_openflow_tablemod_v5 function in epan/dissectors/packet-openflow_v5.c in the OpenFlow dissector...

The dissect_openflow_tablemod_v5 function in epan/dissectors/packet-openflow_v5.c in the OpenFlow dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 does not validate a certain offset value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious or malformed OpenFlow packet could make vulnerable Wireshark versions hang while dissecting traffic. The business impact is mainly disruption to packet analysis and incident response workflows, not a documented data breach or system takeover. Exposure is likely limited to hosts running Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 that inspect OpenFlow traffic or untrusted packet captures. Distribution advisories from Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, and Oracle indicate packaged versions were relevant. Prioritize remediation where Wireshark supports security operations, network troubleshooting, or OpenFlow analysis. This is not marked as actively exploited, but a crash or hang during analysis can slow incident response. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x installations to 1.12.7 or later.; Apply vendor security updates from the relevant Linux or software distribution.; Avoid opening untrusted packet captures with vulnerable Wireshark builds..
