The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5559 advisory.

  • SSH dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.10 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-6174)

  • The NetScreen file parser could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (CVE-2023-6175)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
