Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2015-8732. PoCs published by Google Security Research.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a global-buffer-overflow vulnerability in Wireshark's ZigBee ZCL dissector, specifically in the `dissect_zcl_pwr_prof_pwrprofstatersp` function. The crash occurs due to an out-of-bounds read when processing malformed packet capture files, leading to a denial-of-service condition.

Description

The dissect_zcl_pwr_prof_pwrprofstatersp function in epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-zcl-general.c in the ZigBee ZCL dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate the Total Profile Number field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet.
