CVE-2012-2392 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Wireshark versions 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8. Remote attackers can trigger an infinite loop in various dissectors (ANSI MAP, ASF, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.3, and LTP) by crafting malicious network traffic. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 3.3, indicating a low severity, as it requires adjacent network access and only leads to a partial denial of service. While there is an ExploitDB entry (EDB-18919) detailing multiple dissector DoS vulnerabilities, there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
