Last modified

CVE-2013-1579 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The rtps_util_add_bitmap function in epan/dissectors/packet-rtps.c in the RTPS dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 does not properly implement certain nested loops for processing bitmap data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed packet.. EPSS estimates a 0.70% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
