CVE-2017-7704

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.5, the DOF dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dof.c by using a different integer data type and adjusting a return value.

Weakness

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