Due to a failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted CP2179 packet, Wireshark versions 2.0.0 through 4.0.7 is susceptible to a divide by zero allowing for a denial of service attack.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3906 advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

An update of the wireshark package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - wireshark: free operation on an uninitialized memory address in wiretap/netmon.c (CVE-2018-6836)

  - The srtp_add_address function in epan/dissectors/packet-rtp.c in the RTP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x     before 1.10.7 does not properly update SRTP conversation data, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-2907)

  - The dissect_frame function in epan/dissectors/packet-frame.c in the frame metadissector in Wireshark     1.10.x before 1.10.8 interprets a negative integer as a length value even though it was intended to     represent an error condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-4020)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - wireshark: free operation on an uninitialized memory address in wiretap/netmon.c (CVE-2018-6836)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.3 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.11, the IxVeriWave file parser could crash. This was     addressed in wiretap/vwr.c by correcting the signature timestamp bounds checks. (CVE-2018-5334)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.3 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.11, the WCP dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c by validating the available buffer length. (CVE-2018-5335)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - wireshark: Kafka dissector infinite loop (CVE-2021-4190)

  - Crash in the Sysdig Event dissector in Wireshark 3.6.0 and 3.4.0 to 3.4.10 allows denial of service via     packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2021-4181)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 4.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-4.0.8 advisory.

  - Multiple integer signedness errors in the tvb_unmasked function in epan/dissectors/packet-websocket.c in     the Websocket dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3562)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the SoulSeek dissector could go into an infinite loop.
