Bluetooth HFP Profile 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 in Wireshark's Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) protocol dissector affects versions 4.6.0-4.6.7 and 4.4.0-4.4.18, causing application crashes via malformed HFP traffic or crafted capture files. The CWE-125 out-of-bounds read root cause is confirmed by NVD; CVSS impact is confined to availability (A:H, C:N, I:N), though tags include 'Information Disclosure' - a discrepancy unresolved from available data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the target to be running Wireshark in one of the affected version ranges (4.6.0-4.6.7 or 4.4.0-4.4.18) with the Bluetooth HFP dissector active, which is the default in standard Wireshark installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.5 (Medium) with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately reflects a constrained threat model: exploitation is local and requires user interaction, substantially limiting the attack surface compared to network-exploitable vulnerabilities. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malformed Bluetooth HFP packet capture file (.pcapng or .pcap) embedding protocol fields with lengths that exceed allocated buffer boundaries, then delivers it to a target security analyst via email, file share, or download. When the analyst opens the file in a vulnerable Wireshark version, the HFP dissector's out-of-bounds read triggers an application crash, causing a denial of service. …
Remediation Upgrade Wireshark to the first release above the affected version ranges - above 4.6.7 for the 4.6.x branch or above 4.4.18 for the 4.4.x branch - per the vendor advisory at https://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2026-79.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
