The SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine (UDVM) in Wireshark 0.10.8 through 1.0.14 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to sigcomp-udvm.c and an off-by-one error, which triggers a buffer overflow, different vulnerabilities than CVE-2010-2287.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-2995 is an old Wireshark flaw in SigComp decompression handling. A malicious input processed by affected Wireshark versions could crash the application, and the CVE states arbitrary code execution may be possible. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE, or confirmed exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely where legacy Wireshark installations in the affected ranges remain on analyst workstations, forensic systems, training images, or older Linux distributions. Current supported Wireshark deployments are unlikely to be affected, but the bundle does not prove current package status. Treat as a legacy tool hygiene issue unless affected Wireshark versions are still present. Prioritize analyst and forensic workstations because packet-analysis tools may process untrusted network data or captures. Mitigation focus: Inventory Wireshark installations and remove affected legacy versions.; Upgrade Wireshark to a vendor-fixed supported release.; Apply distribution security updates where Wireshark is packaged by the OS vendor..
