How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.17 wireshark to version 2.0.5-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.17 relevant fixed versions and status.

epan/dissectors/packet-wbxml.c in the WBXML dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.5 does not restrict the recursion depth, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
