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 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.
This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c by making loop bounds more explicit. (CVE-2017-9346)

- In Wireshark 2.2.7, PROFINET IO data with a high recursion depth allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq function in plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn- io.c. (CVE-2017-9766)

- In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.5 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.13, the VLAN dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-vlan.c by limiting VLAN tag nesting to restrict the recursion depth.
(CVE-2018-9262)

- Uncontrolled Recursion in the Bluetooth DHT dissector in Wireshark 3.4.0 to 3.4.9 and 3.2.0 to 3.2.17 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2021-39929)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Wireshark version 4.0.8 or later.
