NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark package and not the wireshark package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, the Profinet I/O dissector could loop excessively, triggered by network traffic or a capture file. This was addressed in plugins/profinet/packet-pn-rtc-one.c by rejecting input with too many I/O objects.
