CVE-2026-76917 [MEDIUM] CWE-787 wireshark: Wireshark: Denial of Service via Heap-based Buffer Overflow in Bluetooth AVRCP Dissector
wireshark: Wireshark: Denial of Service via Heap-based Buffer Overflow in Bluetooth AVRCP Dissector
A flaw was found in Wireshark. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists within the Bluetooth Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) protocol dissector. This flaw can be triggered by a local user processing a specially crafted Bluetooth AVRCP packet, which requires user interaction. Successful exploitation leads to a crash of the Wireshark application, resulting in a denial of service.
Statement: A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the Bluetooth AVRCP dissector in Wireshark versions 4.4.0 through 4.4.17 and 4.6.0 through 4.6.7. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, and 9 ship Wireshark versions prior to the affected range and are not vulnerable. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 an
