The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is 2.6.x prior to 2.6.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the following protocol dissectors:

  - 6LoWPAN

  - P_MUL

  - RTSE

  - ISAKMP

An attacker could cause Wireshark to crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace file.

New version 2.6.6. Security fix for CVE-2019-5716, CVE-2019-5717, CVE-2019-5718, CVE-2019-5719

Several issues in wireshark, a network traffic analyzer, have been found. Dissectors of

  - ISAKMP, a Internet Security Association and Key     Management Protocol

  - P_MUL, a reliable multicast transfer protocol

  - 6LoWPAN, IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area     Network are affected.

CVE-2019-5719 Mateusz Jurczyk found that a missing encryption block in a packet could crash the ISAKMP dissector.

CVE-2019-5717 It was found that the P_MUL dissector could crash when a malformed packet contains an illegal Data PDU sequence number of 0.
Such a packet may not be analysed.

CVE-2019-5716 It was found that the 6LoWPAN dissector could crash when a malformed packet does not contain IPHC information though the header says it should.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u17.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.3 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.11, the IxVeriWave file parser could crash. This was     addressed in wiretap/vwr.c by correcting the signature timestamp bounds checks. (CVE-2018-5334)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.3 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.11, the WCP dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c by validating the available buffer length. (CVE-2018-5335)

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