New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 3.6
Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.
Description
It was discovered that wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities in the dissectors/file parsers for IxVeriWave, WCP, JSON, XML, NTP, XMPP and GDB, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
Solution
Upgrade the wireshark packages.
For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u13.
For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.6+g32dac6a-2+deb9u2.
