How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.17 wireshark to version 3.0.1-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, the Rbm dissector could go into an infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/file-rbm.c by handling unknown object types safely.
