Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-09-08 04:30:41 UTC
Details
Description

The F5 Ethernet Trailer dissector could go into an infinite loop. Discovered by Jason Cohen.
Impact

It may be possible to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
Resolution

Upgrade to Wireshark 3.6.8, 3.4.16 or later.
