CVE-2015-6249 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Wireshark WCCP dissector, specifically affecting versions 1.12.x before 1.12.7, including Oracle Wireshark and Solaris distributions. The flaw stems from the dissect_wccp2r1_address_table_info function failing to prevent the conflicting use of a table for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This medium-complexity vulnerability allows remote attackers to crash the application via a crafted packet, resulting in a partial availability impact (CVSS 4.3). There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
