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-2015-6246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6246/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6246","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-6246","GHSA-qvfg-7rq7-85cm","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-6246"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"oracle"},{"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 dissect_wa_payload function in epan/dissectors/packet-waveagent.c in the WaveAgent dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 mishandles large tag values, 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":"The dissect_wa_payload function in epan/dissectors/packet-waveagent.c in the WaveAgent dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 mishandle","id":"CVE-2015-6246","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"oracle:linux","products":["oracle:linux","oracle:solaris","wireshark:wireshark"],"type":null,"year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6245"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-08-24","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Red Hat Automatic Bug Reporting Tool Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-5287","kev_date_added":"2026-08-26","published":"2015-12-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2328","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8385","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8388","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-02"}],"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":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6246/"}
