BT SDP dissector infinite loop in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.7 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.15 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file
A denial of service vulnerability was found in Wireshark due to an infinite loop in the Bluetooth (BT) SDP dissector. Exploiting this flaw involves injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or enticing a victim to read a corrupted packet trace file, resulting in a crash of the BT SDP dissector. This issue may allow a remote attacker to perform a DoS attack by consuming all available system resources, leading to excessive CPU resource consumption.
