The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.14 or 2.2.x prior to 2.2.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the DAAP     dissector, specifically in the dissect_daap_one_tag()     function within file epan/dissectors/packet-daap.c. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     exhaust stack resources through uncontrolled recursion.
    (CVE-2017-9617)

  - An infinite loop condition exists in the DOCSIS     dissector, specifically in the dissect_docsis() function     within file plugins/docsis/packet-docsis.c. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted packet or packet trace, to consume     available CPU resources, resulting in a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-11406)

  - A memory allocation issue exists in the MQ dissector,     specifically in the reassemble_mq() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c, due to improper validation     of fragment lengths before attempting reassembly. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-11407)

  - A flaw exists in the AMQP dissector, specifically in     the get_amqp_1_0_value_formatter() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c, when decoding lists.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause     a stack overflow, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2017-11408)

  - A large loop condition exists in the GPRS LLC dissector,     specifically in the llc_gprs_dissect_xid() function     within file epan/dissectors/packet-gprs-llc.c, when     handling specially crafted packet or trace files. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. Note that this     issue only applies to version 2.0.x. (CVE-2017-11409)

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

This update for wireshark to version 2.2.11 fixes several issues.
These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-13767: The MSDP dissector could have gone into     an infinite loop. This was addressed by adding length     validation (bsc#1056248)

  - CVE-2017-13766: The Profinet I/O dissector could have     crash with an out-of-bounds write. This was addressed by     adding string validation (bsc#1056249)

  - CVE-2017-13765: The IrCOMM dissector had a buffer     over-read and application crash. This was addressed by     adding length validation (bsc#1056251)

  - CVE-2017-9766: PROFINET IO data with a high recursion     depth allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq     function (bsc#1045341)

  - CVE-2017-9617: Deeply nested DAAP data may have cause     stack exhaustion (uncontrolled recursion) in the     dissect_daap_one_tag function in the DAAP dissector     (bsc#1044417)

  - CVE-2017-15192: The BT ATT dissector could crash. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btatt.c by     considering a case where not all of the BTATT packets     have the same encapsulation level. (bsc#1062645)

  - CVE-2017-15193: The MBIM dissector could crash or     exhaust system memory. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-mbim.c by changing the     memory-allocation approach. (bsc#1062645)

  - CVE-2017-15191: The DMP dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dmp.c by validating     a string length. (bsc#1062645)

  - CVE-2017-17083: NetBIOS dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-netbios.c by     ensuring that write operations are bounded by the     beginning of a buffer. (bsc#1070727)

  - CVE-2017-17084: IWARP_MPA dissector could crash. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-iwarp-mpa.c by     validating a ULPDU length. (bsc#1070727)

  - CVE-2017-17085: the CIP Safety dissector could crash.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-cipsafety.c     by validating the packet length. (bsc#1070727)

  - wireshark: free operation on an uninitialized memory address in wiretap/netmon.c (CVE-2018-6836)

  - 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)

  - The decompress_sigcomp_message function in epan/sigcomp-udvm.c in the SigComp UDVM dissector in Wireshark     1.10.x before 1.10.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and     application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-8710)

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

    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause     a stack overflow, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2017-11408)

  - A large loop condition exists in the GPRS LLC dissector,     specifically in the llc_gprs_dissect_xid() function     within file epan/dissectors/packet-gprs-llc.c, when     handling specially crafted packet or trace files. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. Note that this     issue only applies to version 2.0.x. (CVE-2017-11409)

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)

  - 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)

  - The dissect_zbee_secure function in epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-security.c in the ZigBee dissector in     Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 improperly relies on length fields contained in packet data, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-6244)

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 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)
