Upgrade Alpine:3.17 wireshark to version 3.0.2-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.
In Wireshark 3.0.0 to 3.0.1, 2.6.0 to 2.6.8, and 2.4.0 to 2.4.14, the dissection engine could crash. This was addressed in epan/packet.c by restricting the number of layers and consequently limiting recursion.
