Title:	Wireshark 'STANAG 4607' Capture File Denial of Service Vulnerability (Mac OS X)
Summary:	Wireshark is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Wireshark is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The flaw is due to a crafted or malformed STANAG 4607 capture file will cause an infinite loop and memory exhaustion. If the packet size field in a packet header is null, the offset to read from will not advance, causing continuous attempts to read the same zero length packet. This will quickly exhaust all system memory. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation will allow remote attackers to cause the application to enter an infinite loop and consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. Affected Software/OS: Wireshark versions 2.2.4 and prior on Mac OS X Solution: Update to Wireshark 2.2.5 or later. CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
