CVE-2016-2529
Last modified
CVE-2016-2529 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The iseries_check_file_type function in wiretap/iseries.c in the iSeries file parser in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not consider that a line may lack the "OBJECT PROTOCOL" substring, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted file.. EPSS estimates a 1.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
