CVE-2015-3815 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The detect_version function in wiretap/logcat.c in the Android Logcat file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 does not check the length of the payload, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a packet with a crafted payload, as demonstrated by a length of zero, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3906.. EPSS estimates a 2.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
