The version of wireshark shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 does not have support for X.411 (X.400 Message Transfer) packet dissection, hence this flaw does not affect those versions.

Statement:

Not Vulnerable. This issue does not affect the version of wireshark, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
