In Wireshark 2.0.0 to 2.0.13, the GPRS LLC dissector could go into a large loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-gprs-llc.c by using a different integer data type.
Weakness
The product performs an iteration or loop without sufficiently limiting the number of times that the loop is executed.
