An update of the wireshark package has been released.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 3.4.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-3.4.6 advisory. Specifically, an infinite loop in the DVB-S2-BB dissector allows a denial of service (DoS) attack via packet injection or crafted capture file.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5019 advisory.
