How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 wireshark to version 1.8.6-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The dissect_sip_p_charging_func_addresses function in epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 does not properly handle offset data associated with a quoted string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed packet.
