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.x before 3.0.8, the BT ATT dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btatt.c by validating opcodes.
