How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wireshark-cli package and not the wireshark-cli package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted IEEE-C37.118 packet, Wireshark version 4.0.5 and prior, by default, is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly code execution in the context of the process running Wireshark.
