An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-6053 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wireshark Wireshark. 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-2012-6053/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6053/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-6053","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6053/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-6053","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2012-5593","DEBIAN-CVE-2012-6053","GHSA-c2jp-3fgc-5gr6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wireshark network analyzer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via an infinite loop in the USB dissector by sending a packet with a zero length field.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wireshark","vendor":"wireshark"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-189","name":null}],"description":"epan/dissectors/packet-usb.c in the USB dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4 relies on a length field to calculate an offset value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a zero value for this field.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6053","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wireshark:wireshark","products":["wireshark:wireshark"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6054"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6052"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-12-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0444","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-01-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1210","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3146","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-23"}],"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":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via an infinite loop in the USB dissector by sending a packet with a zero length field.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6053/"}
