How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 wireshark to version 4.2.6-150600.18.6.1 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 SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted RTPS 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.
