Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ethereal versions 0.8.15 through 0.10.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a process crash. This can be achieved via a malformed or missing community string, which causes an out-of-bounds read.

Recommendations For Ethereal versions 0.8.15 through 0.10.4, consider updating to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the SNMP dissector to minimize the risk of exploitation.
