Description msiddiqu 2021-09-07 11:13:59 UTC
The DVB-S2-BB dissector could go into an infinite loop. 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.

Comment 3 Garrett Tucker 2021-09-09 16:58:39 UTC
Flaw was introduced in the following commit: https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/commit/4bf4ee88f0544727e7f89f3f288c6afd2f650a4c This commit was never introduced into any of our streams in RHEL 8 and below. RHEL 9 uses a fixed version of wireshark that does not contain this flaw. As such, no RHEL versions are affected by this flaw.
