CVE-2013-4933 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The netmon_open function in wiretap/netmon.c in the Netmon file parser in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet-trace file.. EPSS estimates a 3.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
