CVE-2012-1183
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—
Stack-based buffer overflow in the milliwatt_generate function in the Miliwatt application in Asterisk 1.4.x before 1.4.44, 1.6.x before 1.6.2.23, 1.8.x before 1.8.10.1, and 10.x before 10.2.1, when the o option is used and the internal_timing option is off, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large number of samples in an audio packet.
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: 3.73%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 90
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
