The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200607-09 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Wireshark dissectors have been found vulnerable to a large number of exploits, including off-by-one errors, buffer overflows, format string overflows and an infinite loop.
Impact :
Running an affected version of Wireshark or Ethereal could allow for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's computer by sending specially crafted packets.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
