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.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is 3.0.x prior to 3.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in its Bluetooth Attribute dissector component due to insufficient packet processing logic. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by sending specially crafted packets to an affected host, to cause a DoS condition to occur in the component. 

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

Several vulnerabilities were fixed in Wireshark, a network sniffer.
