DLMS/COSEM protocol dissector infinite loop in Wireshark 4.6.0 to 4.6.4

AnalysisAI

Wireshark versions 4.6.0 through 4.6.4 contain an infinite loop vulnerability in the DLMS/COSEM protocol dissector that causes denial of service when processing malformed packets. A local attacker with user privileges can trigger the infinite loop by opening a crafted DLMS/COSEM packet capture file, freezing the application and rendering it unresponsive without requiring authentication or special configuration.

Technical ContextAI

The DLMS/COSEM (Device Language Message Specification / Companion Specification for Energy Metering) protocol dissector in Wireshark is responsible for parsing and displaying DLMS/COSEM network traffic. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-835 (Infinite Loop), indicating that the dissector enters an unbounded loop when processing certain malformed packet structures, likely due to improper bounds checking or termination conditions in the packet parsing logic. The affected versions span the 4.6.x release branch, suggesting the vulnerability was introduced or persisted across multiple minor updates in that series.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Wireshark to version 4.6.5 or later, which contains the fix for the infinite loop vulnerability in the DLMS/COSEM dissector. Until patching is feasible, users should avoid opening or processing untrusted DLMS/COSEM packet capture files (.pcap, .pcapng) from unknown sources. If analysis of potentially malicious captures is necessary, conduct it in an isolated virtual machine or sandbox environment where application hang is tolerable. The Wireshark Foundation advisory at https://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2026-25.html and GitLab issue at https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/issues/21065 provide additional context and may include interim workarounds.
