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.
Weakness
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
