The host is missing a security update according to Wireshark Advisory. The update is required to fix a denial-of-service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle the DVB-S2-BB dissector issue. Successful exploitation allows Wireshark to consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
