Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-3.0.9 advisory.

- The LTE RRC dissector could leak memory. It may be possible to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (wireshark-bug-16341)
