CVE-2010-3445
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
Stack consumption vulnerability in the dissect_ber_unknown function in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the BER dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.1 and 1.2.x before 1.2.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a long string in an unknown ASN.1/BER encoded packet, as demonstrated using SNMP.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.15%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
- Score date: 10/9/2026
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).
