CVE-2011-3266 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The proto_tree_add_item function in Wireshark 1.6.0 through 1.6.1 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.8, when the IKEv1 protocol dissector is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors involving a malformed IKE packet and many items in a tree.. EPSS estimates a 2.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
