CVE-2017-7700: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 2.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.5 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.11, the NetScaler file parser could go into an infinite loop, triggered by a malformed capture file. This was addressed in wiretap/netscaler.c by ensuring a nonzero record size.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only
• Wireshark Wireshark: from 2.0.0, up to and including 2.0.11; from 2.2.0, up to and including 2.2.5
