The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200708-12 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)
Wireshark doesn't properly handle chunked encoding in HTTP responses (CVE-2007-3389), iSeries capture files (CVE-2007-3390), certain types of DCP ETSI packets (CVE-2007-3391), and SSL or MMS packets (CVE-2007-3392). An off-by-one error has been discovered in the DHCP/BOOTP dissector when handling DHCP-over-DOCSIS packets (CVE-2007-3393).
Impact :
A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored with Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark which might be the root user, or a Denial of Service.
Workaround :
In order to prevent root compromise, take network captures with tcpdump and analyze them running Wireshark as a least privileged user.
