CVE-2017-11410 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 wireshark to version 2.6.3-1~ubuntu14.04.1 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 Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-wbxml.c by adding validation of the relationships between indexes and lengths. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-7702.
