CVE-2012-3825

Status: ModifiedLow (3.3)—💥 Exploit

Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to the (1) BACapp and (2) Bluetooth HCI dissectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2392.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 3.3

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.35%
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).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
