The remote host is missing an update for the 'wireshark' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was previously known as Ethereal. Upgrade to Wireshark version 1.2.15 to resolve heap-based buffer overflow, denial of service, and arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities

  A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Wireshark MAC-LTE
  dissector. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a
  malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as
  the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2011-0444)

  A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Wireshark processed
  signaling traces generated by the Gammu utility on Nokia DCT3 phones
  running in Netmonitor mode. If Wireshark opened a specially-crafted capture
  file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user
  running Wireshark. (CVE-2011-0713)

  Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could
  crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or
  opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2011-0538, CVE-2011-1139, CVE-2011-1140,
  CVE-2011-1141)

  Users of Wireshark should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  Wireshark version 1.2.15, and resolve these issues. All running instances
  of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.");
