CVE-2011-1139
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—
wiretap/pcapng.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a pcap-ng file that contains a large packet-length field.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 4.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.28%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 88
- 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).
