There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.12 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.4, the pcapng file parser could crash. This was addressed in

- In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-thrift.c had a large loop that was
addressed by not proceeding with dissection after encountering an unexpected type. (CVE-2018-7321)

- In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c had an infinite loop that
was addressed by checking for integer wraparound. (CVE-2018-7322)

- In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c had a large loop that was
