  - GSM CBCH dissector
  - IAX2 dissector
  - IEEE 802.11 dissector
  - MS-WSP dissector
  - NCP dissector
  - PKTC dissector
  - TShark

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - GSM CBCH dissector
  - IAX2 dissector
  - IEEE 802.11 dissector
  - MS-WSP dissector
  - NCP dissector
  - PKTC dissector
