      https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-2.4.4.html
    - security fixes:
      - Multiple dissectors could crash (CVE-2018-5336)
      - The IxVeriWave file parser could crash (CVE-2018-5334)
      - The WCP dissector could crash (CVE-2018-5335)
      - Prior to this release dumpcap enabled the Linux kernel’s BPF JIT
        compiler via the net.core.bpf_jit_enable sysctl. This could make
        systems more vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (CVE-2017-5753) and
        this feature has been removed (Closes: #886619)
      - There was a potential buffer underflow in File_read_line function
