CVE-2017-11408: In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.7 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.13, the AMQP dissector could crash.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.7 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.13, the AMQP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c by checking for successful list dissection.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This vulnerability can make vulnerable Wireshark versions crash while analyzing AMQP traffic. The business impact is mainly disruption to packet-analysis workstations or automated analysis pipelines, not confirmed data theft or remote system takeover in the provided sources.

Executive priority

Treat this as a targeted reliability and operations risk. Prioritize patching systems that process untrusted network captures or support incident response workflows.

Technical view

CVE-2017-11408 affects Wireshark 2.2.0 through 2.2.7 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.13. The AMQP dissector could crash because list dissection success was not properly checked. The fix changed epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c to validate successful list dissection.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where vulnerable Wireshark builds inspect AMQP captures or live AMQP traffic. Security teams, network operations, and automated packet-processing systems are the primary concern.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. Practical risk depends on a vulnerable Wireshark instance processing traffic or capture data that reaches the AMQP dissector.

Researcher notes

The available evidence supports a denial-of-service style crash in the AMQP dissector. No CVSS, CWE, active exploitation, or broader impact is provided in the bundle, so avoid overstating severity.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade affected Wireshark installations using Wireshark or OS vendor security updates.
  • Move off Wireshark 2.2.0-2.2.7 and 2.0.0-2.0.13.
  • Apply Debian DSA-4060 or DLA-1226-1 packages where applicable.
  • Limit analysis of untrusted AMQP captures until affected systems are updated.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Wireshark versions on analyst workstations and packet-processing hosts.
  • Check whether any installed version is within the affected ranges.
  • Confirm vendor security updates are installed through package metadata or application version reporting.
  • Review automated pipelines that ingest packet captures for vulnerable Wireshark dependencies.
