How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.17 wireshark to version 2.6.8-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 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the GSS-API dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-gssapi.c by ensuring that a valid dissector is called.
