Last modified
CVE-2014-5162 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The read_new_line function in wiretap/catapult_dct2000.c in the Catapult DCT2000 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip '\n' and '\r' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (off-by-one buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.. EPSS estimates a 2.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
