CVE-2013-2485

CVE-2013-2485 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Wireshark versions 1.6.x prior to 1.6.14 and 1.8.x prior to 1.8.6, specifically within the FCSP dissector. A remote attacker can trigger an infinite loop by sending a specially crafted packet, affecting various Debian and openSUSE distributions that include these Wireshark versions. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.1, indicating a medium severity, and requires adjacent network access (AV:A) with low attack complexity (AC:L) to cause a complete denial of service (A:C). There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage, suggesting it is not a widely targeted or discussed vulnerability.
