CVE-2015-2190
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
epan/proto.c in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 does not properly handle integer data types greater than 32 bits in size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled by the LLDP dissector.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.52%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 89
- Score date: 10/8/2026
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).
