In Wireshark 3.0.0, the IEEE 802.11 dissector could go into an infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c by detecting cases in which the bit offset does not advance.

Weakness

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