How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.17 wireshark to version 2.2.9-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 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.8, the Profinet I/O dissector could crash with an out-of-bounds write. This was addressed in plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn-io.c by adding string validation.
