The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5559 advisory.

    A vulnerability was discovered in the SSH dissector of Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, which could     result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution     (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.11-1~deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your     wireshark packages.
