It was discovered that Wireshark before 3.6.2, 3.4.12 there are large loops in multiple dissectors, including AMP, ATN-ULCS and possibly other ASN.1 PER dissectors, BP, GDSDB, OpenFlow v5, PMUL, SoulSeek, TDS, WBXML, WSP and possibly other WAP dissectors, and ZigBee ZCL. It may be possible to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

Affected versions: 3.6.0 to 3.6.1, 3.4.0 to 3.4.11 Fixed versions: 3.6.2, 3.4.12
