CVE-2010-2995 describes a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine (UDVM) within Wireshark versions 0.10.8 through 1.0.14 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.9. This flaw, stemming from an off-by-one error in sigcomp-udvm.c, allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it represents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
