The remote host is missing an update for the 'wireshark' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Wireshark on CentOS 4 is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code. Users should upgrade to the updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue
