{"id":"ALPINE-CVE-2017-6014","details":"In Wireshark 2.2.4 and earlier, a crafted or malformed STANAG 4607 capture file will cause an infinite loop and memory exhaustion. If the packet size field in a packet header is null, the offset to read from will not advance, causing continuous attempts to read the same zero length packet. This will quickly exhaust all system memory.","modified":"2026-06-15T18:24:30.371729345Z","published":"2017-02-17T07:59:00.967Z","upstream":["CVE-2017-6014"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.alpinelinux.org/vuln/CVE-2017-6014"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"wireshark","ecosystem":"Alpine:v3.5","purl":"pkg:apk/alpine/wireshark?arch=source"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.2.4-r1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/alpine/ALPINE-CVE-2017-6014.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
