CVE-2015-8723
Last modified
CVE-2015-8723 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The AirPDcapPacketProcess function in epan/crypt/airpdcap.c in the 802.11 dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate the relationship between the total length and the capture length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.. EPSS estimates a 4.92% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
