The get_value function in epan/dissectors/packet-btatt.c in the Bluetooth Attribute (aka BT ATT) dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write operation and application crash) via a crafted packet.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-8735 is a Wireshark crash flaw in the Bluetooth Attribute dissector. A malicious packet could make vulnerable Wireshark 2.0.x releases before 2.0.1 crash while analyzing traffic. This is mainly an availability risk for analysts and monitoring workflows, not evidence of system compromise. Exposure is most likely where Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 is installed and used to inspect Bluetooth ATT traffic or untrusted packet captures. The bundle does not identify affected downstream packages beyond Wireshark and the Gentoo advisory reference. Prioritize normal patching for analyst workstations and packet-analysis systems. The known impact is application crash, so urgency is highest where Wireshark supports incident response, monitoring, or operational troubleshooting and untrusted captures are routinely opened. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Wireshark to version 2.0.1 or later.; Check Wireshark and distribution advisories for supported package fixes.; Avoid opening untrusted Bluetooth ATT captures on vulnerable Wireshark versions..
