CVE-2017-11411
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the openSAFETY dissector could crash or exhaust system memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c by adding length validation. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-9350.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.29%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 69
- 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).
