CVE-2013-4929 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The parseFields function in epan/dissectors/packet-dis-pdus.c in the DIS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not terminate packet-data processing after finding zero remaining bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet.. EPSS estimates a 3.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
