The host is installed with Wireshark 3.4.0 before 3.4.11 or 3.6.0 before 3.6.1 and is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle the RFC 7468 file parser infinite loop issue. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
