Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-08-24 23:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:30
Severity
Summary
The dissect_openflow_tablemod_v5 function in epan/dissectors/packet-openflow_v5.c in the OpenFlow dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 does not validate a certain offset value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
