Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2013-06-09 21:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:56
Severity
Summary
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.
