This was addressed in wiretap/netscaler.c by ensuring a nonzero record size (bsc#1033936).\n- CVE-2017-7701: In Wireshark the BGP dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bgp.c by using a different integer data type (bsc#1033937).\n- CVE-2017-7702: In Wireshark the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-wbxml.c by adding length validation (bsc#1033938).\n- CVE-2017-7703: In Wireshark the IMAP dissector could crash, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-imap.c by calculating a line's end correctly (bsc#1033939).\n- CVE-2017-7704: In Wireshark 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 (bsc#1033940).\n- CVE-2017-7705: In Wireshark the RPC over RDMA dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file.

If the packet size field in a packet header is null, the offset to read from will not advance, causing continuous attempts to read the same zero length packet. This will quickly exhaust all system memory (bsc#1025913).\n- CVE-2017-5596: In Wireshark the ASTERIX dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-asterix.c by changing a data type to avoid an integer overflow (bsc#1021739).\n- CVE-2017-5597: In Wireshark the DHCPv6 dissector could go into a large loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file.
