Last modified

CVE-2013-4081 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The http_payload_subdissector function in epan/dissectors/packet-http.c in the HTTP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly determine when to use a recursive approach, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted packet.. EPSS estimates a 3.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
