CVE-2017-7702 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.5 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.11, 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.. EPSS estimates a 2.71% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
