CVE-2015-3815 (GCVE-0-2015-3815)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2015-05-26 15:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 05:56
VLAI
Summary
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.
