The host is installed with Wireshark 3.4.0 before 3.4.12 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 large loop issue in the Kafka dissector. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
