CVE-2026-6529 Details
Description
iLBC audio codec crash in Wireshark 4.6.0 to 4.6.4 and 4.4.0 to 4.4.14 allows denial of service
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Wireshark versions 4.6.0 through 4.6.4 and 4.4.0 through 4.4.14. The issue arises from the iLBC audio codec, which can crash the application by causing a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability is triggered when the decoder processes multiple frames of iLBC audio, writing more data into a buffer than it can safely hold.
Users can upgrade to Wireshark versions 4.6.5 or 4.4.15, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
