The installed version of Wireshark 1.6 is earlier than 1.6.14.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Errors exist in the FCSP, AMPQ, SCTP, and sFlow     dissector that could lead to an infinite loop resulting     in a denial of service. (Bugs 7789, 7802, 8337, 8359)

  - Errors exist in the CIMD, DTLS, Mount, MS-MMS, RTPS,     and RTPS2 that could allow them to crash.
    (Bugs 8382, 8332, 8335, 8346, 8380)

  - The ACN dissector can attempt a divide by zero     operation that could lead to an application crash.
    (Bug 8340)

wireshark has been updated to 1.6.14 to fix bugs and security issues :

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.6.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Errors exist in the CSN.1, CIMD, DTLS, Mount, MS-MMS,     RTPS, RTPS2, and TCP dissectors that could allow them     to crash. (Bugs 8274, 8332, 8335, 8346, 8380, 8382)

  - Errors exist in the AMPQ, FCSP, HART/IP, MPLS Echo,     and RELOAD dissectors that could lead to an infinite     loop, resulting in a denial of service. (Bugs 8039,     8337, 8359, 8360, 8364)

  - The ACN dissector can attempt a divide by zero     operation that could lead to an application crash.
    (Bug 8340)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for PKTC, IAX2, GSM CBCH and NCP which could result in denial of service.

This update also fixes many older less important issues by updating the package to the version found in Debian 8 also known as Jessie.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u6~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
