Bluetooth Attribute Protocol dissector crash in 4.6.0 to 4.6.7 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.18 allows denial of service

AnalysisAI

Denial of service via crash affects the Bluetooth Attribute Protocol (ATT) dissector in Wireshark 4.4.0-4.4.17 and 4.6.0-4.6.7, caused by an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) when processing malformed ATT packets. Exploitation requires user interaction - specifically opening a crafted packet capture file or capturing live malicious Bluetooth traffic - and carries no code execution potential. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to be running an affected Wireshark version (4.4.0-4.4.17 or 4.6.0-4.6.7) and to actively open a PCAP file containing crafted Bluetooth Attribute Protocol packets, or to initiate a live Bluetooth capture session during which such packets appear - both requiring explicit user interaction (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7 (Medium) accurately reflects several compounding risk-limiting factors: local attack vector (AV:L) means the malicious input must reach the analyst's own machine rather than being delivered over a network service; high attack complexity (AC:H) requires specifically structured malformed ATT content; user interaction (UI:R) demands the victim actively open or process the hostile input; and scope is unchanged (S:U), confining impact to the Wireshark process alone. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a PCAP file containing a malformed Bluetooth Attribute Protocol packet designed to trigger the out-of-bounds read, then delivers it to a network analyst via email or shared storage, or generates the malicious traffic on a shared Bluetooth-accessible network segment. When the analyst opens the file or the live capture in an unpatched Wireshark instance, the ATT dissector reads beyond its buffer boundary and crashes the application. …
Remediation Upgrade to Wireshark 4.4.18 (for 4.4.x users) or Wireshark 4.6.8 (for 4.6.x users), as indicated by EUVD-2026-63139 fix boundaries and the Wireshark Foundation advisory at https://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2026-73.html; the associated GitLab tracking item is at https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/work_items/21424. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
