CVE-2013-4934
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—
The netmon_open function in wiretap/netmon.c in the Netmon file parser in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not initialize certain structure members, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet-trace file.
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: 2.89%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 86
- 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).
