The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201604-05 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Remote attackers could cause Denial of Service and local attackers could       escalate privileges.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components, which can result in a memory disclosure, a denial of service, or the execution of arbitrary code :

  - 3GPP TS 32.423 Trace file parser
  - ASN.1 BER dissector
  - DNP dissector
  - GSM A-bis OML dissector
  - HiQnet dissector
  - HTTP/2 dissector
  - IEEE 802.11 dissector
  - iSeries file parser
  - Ixia IxVeriWave file parser
  - LBMC dissector
  - LLRP dissector
  - NFS dissector
  - RSL dissector
  - SPICE dissector
  - X.509AF dissector

Additionally, a flaw related to how dynamic-link library (DLL) files are located and loaded exists in the ui/qt/wireshark_application.cpp file due to the application using a DLL search path that may include directories that are not trusted or under the user's control. A local attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted DLL file injected into the search path, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

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

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components, which can result in a memory disclosure, a denial of service, or the execution of arbitrary code :

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 1.12.x prior to 1.12.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components, which can result in a memory disclosure or a denial of service :

  - ASN.1 BER dissector
  - DNP dissector
  - GSM A-bis OML dissector
  - LLRP dissector
