Synopsis

An application installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

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.
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.
