"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-616:03 advisory.

    Description :
    Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating systems.
    This package lays base for libpcap, a packet capture and filtering
    library, contains command-line utilities, contains plugins and
    documentation for wireshark. A graphical user interface is packaged
    separately to GTK+ package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-6421
    Use-after-free vulnerability in the SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that leverages split
    memory ownership between the SDP and RTP dissectors.
    CVE-2014-6422
    The SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 creates duplicate hashtables for a media channel,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet to the
    RTP dissector.
    CVE-2014-6423
    The tvb_raw_text_add function in epan/dissectors/packet-megaco.c in the MEGACO dissector in Wireshark
    1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (infinite loop) via an empty line.
    CVE-2014-6424
    The dissect_v9_v10_pdu_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-netflow.c in the Netflow dissector in
    Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 refers to incorrect offset and start variables,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory read and application
    crash) via a crafted packet.
    CVE-2014-6425
    The (1) get_quoted_string and (2) get_unquoted_string functions in epan/dissectors/packet-cups.c in the
    CUPS dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (buffer over-read and application crash) via a CUPS packet that lacks a trailing '\0' character.
    CVE-2014-6426
    The dissect_hip_tlv function in epan/dissectors/packet-hip.c in the HIP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x
    before 1.12.1 does not properly handle a NULL tree, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
    CVE-2014-6427
    Off-by-one error in the is_rtsp_request_or_reply function in epan/dissectors/packet-rtsp.c in the RTSP
    dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that triggers parsing of a token located one
    position beyond the current position.
    CVE-2014-6428
    The dissect_spdu function in epan/dissectors/packet-ses.c in the SES dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before
    1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not initialize a certain ID value, which allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    CVE-2014-6429
    The SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x
    before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not properly handle empty input data, which allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.
    CVE-2014-6430
    The SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x
    before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not validate bitmask data, which allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.
    CVE-2014-6431
    Buffer overflow in the SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the DOS Sniffer file parser in
    Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (application crash) via a crafted file that triggers writes of uncompressed bytes beyond the end
    of the output buffer.
    CVE-2014-6432
    The SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x
    before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not prevent data overwrites during copy operations, which
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.
