CVE-2020-9431 [HIGH] CWE-400 wireshark: LTE RRC dissector memory leak could result in excessive memory resource consumption
wireshark: LTE RRC dissector memory leak could result in excessive memory resource consumption
In Wireshark 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, 3.0.0 to 3.0.8, and 2.6.0 to 2.6.14, the LTE RRC dissector could leak memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-lte-rrc.c by adjusting certain append operations.
A memory leak was discovered in Wireshark in the LTE RRC dissector. This issue allows an attacker to trigger the flaw by injecting special packets onto the wire or by convincing a victim user into opening a malformed packet trace file.
