CVE-2013-2479
Status: ModifiedLow (3.3)—
The dissect_mpls_echo_tlv_dd_map function in epan/dissectors/packet-mpls-echo.c in the MPLS Echo dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via invalid Sub-tlv data.
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: 1.05%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 63
- 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).
