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-2015-6241 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Oracle Solaris. 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-2015-6241/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6241/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6241","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6241/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6241","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-6241","GHSA-92m2-qw95-6frf","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-6241"],"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 crash Wireshark via crafted packets due to improper data structure termination in the protocol tree implementation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"solaris","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"wireshark","vendor":"wireshark"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The proto_tree_add_bytes_item function in epan/proto.c in the protocol-tree implementation in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 does not properly terminate a data structure after a failure to locate a number within a string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.","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-2015-6241","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"oracle:solaris","products":["oracle:solaris","wireshark:wireshark"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6242"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Ansible Sandbox Escape via Symlink Attack","id":"CVE-2015-6240"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-08-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Oracle Solaris and Zettabyte File System (ZFS) Unspecified","id":"CVE-2020-14871","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-10-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Oracle Solaris Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-3010","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2019-10-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in Oracle Solaris","id":"CVE-2026-46978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in Solaris Operating System","id":"CVE-2017-3623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0397","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0882","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-12"}],"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":"Remote attackers can crash Wireshark via crafted packets due to improper data structure termination in the protocol tree implementation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6241/"}
