CVE-2002-0276

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

Buffer overflow in various decoders in Ettercap 0.6.3.1 and earlier, when running on networks with an MTU greater than 2000, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via large packets.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 7.5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.96%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 92
Score date: 10/5/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
