CVE-2015-3815

Wireshark 1.12.x < 1.12.5 - Denial of Service via Android Logcat Payload Length Check

Title source: llm

Description

The detect_version function in wiretap/logcat.c in the Android Logcat file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 does not check the length of the payload, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a packet with a crafted payload, as demonstrated by a length of zero, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3906.
