CVE-2026-5653 Details
Description
DCP-ETSI protocol dissector crash in Wireshark 4.6.0 to 4.6.4 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.14 allows denial of service
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the DCP-ETSI protocol dissector of Wireshark. This issue is present in versions 4.6.0 through 4.6.4 and 4.4.0 through 4.4.14. The vulnerability arises in the Reed-Solomon forward error correction code path, where the decoder can write attacker-controlled data past the allocated heap buffer, leading to a crash. The issue occurs during the reassembly of fragmented DCP-ETSI PFT packets over UDP, automatically dissected by the application.
Users are advised to upgrade to Wireshark versions 4.6.5, 4.4.15 or later.
