CVE-2012-6057 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The dissect_eigrp_metric_comm function in epan/dissectors/packet-eigrp.c in the EIGRP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 uses the wrong data type for a certain offset value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and infinite loop) via a malformed packet.. EPSS estimates a 2.78% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
