It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4298 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sun Sunos. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4298/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4298/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4298","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4298/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4298","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-4298","GHSA-7qhq-gcwc-xffw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wireshark network analyzer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A signedness error in Wireshark's Ixia IxVeriWave parser allows remote code execution via a crafted packet-trace file, requiring user interaction to open the file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"sunos","vendor":"sun"},{"product":"wireshark","vendor":"wireshark"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:A/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-189","name":null}],"description":"Integer signedness error in the vwr_read_rec_data_ethernet function in wiretap/vwr.c in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet-trace file that triggers a buffer overflow.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4298","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sun:sunos","products":["sun:sunos","wireshark:wireshark"],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4301"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4297"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-08-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4619","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-05-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1369","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A signedness error in Wireshark's Ixia IxVeriWave parser allows remote code execution via a crafted packet-trace file, requiring user interaction to open the file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4298/"}
