H.245 protocol dissector crash in 4.6.0 to 4.6.7 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.18 allows denial of service

AnalysisAI

Null pointer dereference in Wireshark's H.245 protocol dissector crashes the application, enabling denial of service against versions 4.6.0-4.6.7 and 4.4.0-4.4.18. An attacker can trigger the crash by inducing a victim analyst to open a crafted packet capture file or by injecting malicious H.245 traffic into a live capture session. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively open a crafted packet capture file in Wireshark, or to capture live network traffic containing maliciously formed H.245 packets with Wireshark running. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate-to-low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A threat actor crafts a packet capture file (.pcapng) containing a malformed H.245 message and distributes it to a target analyst under the guise of a legitimate network trace for review. When the analyst opens the file in an affected version of Wireshark, the H.245 dissector dereferences a null pointer and the application crashes, interrupting their analysis workflow. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade to a patched Wireshark release beyond the affected version ranges. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
