CVE-2017-9354: In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the RGMP dissector could crash.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the RGMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c by validating an IPv4 address.

Analyst readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2017-9354 is a Wireshark crash issue in the RGMP packet dissector. An affected Wireshark installation could become unavailable while processing certain RGMP data. The business impact is mainly disruption to packet analysis workflows, not proven system compromise.

Executive priority

Treat this as a contained availability risk for network analysis operations. It should be remediated during normal vulnerability maintenance, faster where teams process untrusted captures or depend on Wireshark for incident response.

Technical view

Wireshark 2.2.0 through 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.12 contain an RGMP dissector flaw. The public record says the crash was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c by validating an IPv4 address. No CVSS score or CWE is provided in the bundle.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely on analyst workstations, servers, or automated tooling running affected Wireshark versions and processing RGMP traffic or packet captures. Systems without Wireshark, or running versions outside the listed affected ranges, are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources.

Exploitation context

The supplied bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. Public sources describe a crash condition, including OSS-Fuzz and Wireshark bug references, but do not establish real-world abuse or a broader compromise path.

Researcher notes

Evidence supports a dissector crash fixed by IPv4 address validation. The bundle lacks CVSS, CWE, exploitability detail, and active exploitation evidence. Avoid assuming code execution or network-service exposure from the supplied records alone.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory Wireshark installations and identify affected 2.2.x and 2.0.x versions.
  • Upgrade Wireshark to a vendor-supported release outside the affected ranges.
  • Limit opening untrusted packet captures on affected systems until upgraded.
  • Prioritize shared analysis servers and automated capture-processing pipelines.
  • Check Wireshark advisory WNPA-SEC-2017-32 for vendor-specific guidance.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm installed Wireshark versions are not 2.2.0-2.2.6 or 2.0.0-2.0.12.
  • Verify vulnerable analyst workstations and packet-processing services were upgraded.
  • Review software inventory for bundled or portable Wireshark copies.
  • Document whether RGMP traffic or untrusted capture intake exists.
  • Confirm remediation against the Wireshark security advisory.
