The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201308-05 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.8.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Errors exist in the CAPWAP, DCP ETSI, GSM CBCH, GMR-1     BCCH, PPP, NBAP, RDP dissectors that could allow them to     crash. (Bugs 7664, 7880, 8697, 8717, 8725, 8726, 8727,     8729, 8730)

  - An error exists in the Assa Abloy R3 dissector that     could cause a denial of service, resulting in     consumption of excessive memory and CPU. (Bug 8764)

  - An error exists in the HTTP dissector that could overrun     the stack, which could result in an application crash.
    (Bug 8733)

  - An error exists in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser that     could overflow the heap, resulting in consumption of     excessive CPU resources and crash. (Bug 8760)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors for CAPWAP, GMR-1 BCCH, PPP, NBAP, RDP, HTTP, DCP ETSI and in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

This wireshark version update to 1.8.8 includes several security and general bug fixes.
