The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-26 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)
The following vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark.
Firstly, if the IPsec ESP parser is used it is susceptible to off-by-one errors, this parser is disabled by default; secondly, the SCSI dissector is vulnerable to an unspecified crash; and finally, the Q.2931 dissector of the SSCOP payload may use all the available memory if a port range is configured. By default, no port ranges are configured.
Impact :
An attacker might be able to exploit these vulnerabilities, resulting in a crash or the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Wireshark, possibly the root user.
Workaround :
Disable the SCSI and Q.2931 dissectors with the 'Analyse' and 'Enabled protocols' menus. Make sure the ESP decryption is disabled, with the 'Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> ESP' menu.
