The dissect_wccp2r1_address_table_info function in epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c in the WCCP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 does not prevent the conflicting use of a table for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Wireshark crash issue. A specially crafted WCCP packet could make Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 crash while dissecting traffic. The business impact is disruption to packet analysis, not system takeover, based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems still running Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7, especially analyst workstations or sensors processing untrusted packet captures or live WCCP traffic. Treat this as a targeted legacy cleanup item. Prioritize teams that still use old Wireshark builds for packet analysis, but this is not evidenced as a current widespread compromise risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark 1.12.x installations to 1.12.7 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant distribution security updates from Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, or Oracle where applicable.; Avoid processing untrusted WCCP captures on vulnerable Wireshark versions..
