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 5 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)

  - Stack consumption vulnerability in the dissect_ber_choice function in the BER dissector in Wireshark 1.2.x     through 1.2.15 and 1.4.x through 1.4.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) via vectors involving self-referential ASN.1 CHOICE values. (CVE-2011-1142)

  - Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 allow remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors related to the (1) BACapp and (2) Bluetooth HCI     dissectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2392. (CVE-2012-3825)

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 6 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)

  - Stack consumption vulnerability in the dissect_ber_choice function in the BER dissector in Wireshark 1.2.x     through 1.2.15 and 1.4.x through 1.4.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) via vectors involving self-referential ASN.1 CHOICE values. (CVE-2011-1142)

  - The dissector-table implementation in epan/packet.c in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 mishandles table     searches for empty strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)     via a crafted packet, related to the (1) dissector_get_string_handle and (2)     dissector_get_default_string_handle functions. (CVE-2015-6243)

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