Comment 1 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2025-06-05 08:58:12 UTC
Description

Some dissectors might crash due to a bug in the column utility module.

Impact

Discovered in our internal testing environment. We are unaware of any exploits for this issue. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

Resolution

Upgrade to Wireshark 4.4.7, 4.2.12 or later.
