Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—
Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop or application crash) via a malformed packet, related to a crash of the Websocket dissector, an infinite loop in the MySQL dissector, and a large loop in the ETCH dissector.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Base score: 7.8
