Description Michael Kaplan 2020-10-07 14:32:13 UTC 
In Wireshark through 3.2.7, the Facebook Zero Protocol (aka FBZERO) dissector could enter an infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-fbzero.c by correcting the implementation of offset advancement.

Comment 1 Michael Kaplan 2020-10-07 14:32:42 UTC 
Created wireshark tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1886048]
Comment 3 Todd Cullum 2020-10-07 21:06:48 UTC 
Statement:

Wireshark as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7 is not affected by this flaw because the Facebook Zero Dissector was not yet introduced until version 2.4.0rc0.
