Improper URL handling in Wireshark 3.4.0 to 3.4.3 and 3.2.0 to 3.2.11 could allow remote code execution via via packet injection or crafted capture file.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Improper URL handling in Wireshark 3.4.0 to 3.4.3 and 3.2.0 to 3.2.11 could allow remote code execution     via via packet injection or crafted capture file. (CVE-2021-22191)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Improper URL handling in Wireshark 3.4.0 to 3.4.3 and 3.2.0 to 3.2.11 could allow remote code execution
    via via packet injection or crafted capture file. (CVE-2021-22191)

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2967 advisory.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark, a network traffic analyzer. An     attacker could cause a denial of service (infinite loop or application crash) via packet injection or a     crafted capture file. Improper URL handling in Wireshark could also allow remote code execution. A double-     click will no longer automatically open the URL in pcap(ng) files and instead copy it to the clipboard     where it can be inspected and pasted to the browser's address bar. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems     have been fixed in version 2.6.20-0+deb9u3. We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages. For the     detailed security status of wireshark please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-     tracker.debian.org/tracker/wireshark Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to     apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at:
