CVE-2017-6467 describes an infinite loop vulnerability in Wireshark versions 2.2.0-2.2.4 and 2.0.0-2.0.10, specifically within the Netscaler file parser, triggered by a crafted capture file. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) allows for a denial-of-service (DoS) attack (A:H) without user interaction (UI:N) or authentication (PR:N), requiring only network access (AV:N).
