The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.2.x prior to 2.2.12 or 2.4.x prior to 2.4.4. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In Wireshark before 2.2.12, the MRDISC dissector misuses a NULL pointer and crashes. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-mrdisc.c by validating an IPv4 address. This vulnerability is similar to     CVE-2017-9343. (CVE-2017-17997)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the version of the wireshark packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - In Wireshark before 2.2.12, the MRDISC dissector     misuses a NULL pointer and crashes. This was addressed     in epan/dissectors/packet-mrdisc.c by validating an     IPv4 address. This vulnerability is similar to     CVE-2017-9343.(CVE-2017-17997)

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote MacOS/MacOSX host is 2.2.x prior to 2.2.12 or 2.4.x prior to 2.4.4. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Several issues in wireshark, a tool that captures and analyzes packets off the wire, have been found by different people. These are basically issues with length checks or invalid memory access in different dissectors. This could result in infinite loops or crashes by malicious packets.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u16.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
