More information:

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark, a network traffic analyzer. An attacker could cause a denial of service (infinite loop or application crash) via packet injection or a crafted capture file. Improper URL handling in Wireshark could also allow remote code execution. A double-click will no longer automatically open the URL in pcap(ng) files and instead copy it to the clipboard where it can be inspected and pasted to the browser's address bar.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.20-0+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
