Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Few minor security issues were fixed in new version of wireshark.
Security- related bugs in the Tektronix K12 and NetScreen file formats have been fixed.
http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2009-01.html NFSv4.1: Add support for backchannel decoding - Dynamically registers a callback dissector based on the CREATE_SESSION args. - Supports the decoding of CB_SEQUENCE, CB_RECALL, CB_LAYOUTRECALL operations
