The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 2.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.0.13 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the RGMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c by validating an IPv4 address. (CVE-2017-9354)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the Bazaar dissector could go into an infinite loop. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c by ensuring that backwards parsing cannot occur.
    (CVE-2017-9352)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the DHCP dissector could read past the end of a buffer.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c by extracting the Vendor Class Identifier more     carefully. (CVE-2017-9351)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the SoulSeek dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c by making loop bounds more explicit. (CVE-2017-9346)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the DNS dissector could go into an infinite loop. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dns.c by trying to detect self-referencing pointers.
    (CVE-2017-9345)

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

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

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the Bluetooth L2CAP dissector could divide by zero. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btl2cap.c by validating an interval value. (CVE-2017-9344)

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

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 2.2.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.2.7 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the RGMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c by validating an IPv4 address. (CVE-2017-9354)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the Bazaar dissector could go into an infinite loop. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c by ensuring that backwards parsing cannot occur.
    (CVE-2017-9352)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6, the DOF dissector could read past the end of a buffer. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-dof.c by validating a size value. (CVE-2017-9348)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the DHCP dissector could read past the end of a buffer.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c by extracting the Vendor Class Identifier more     carefully. (CVE-2017-9351)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the SoulSeek dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c by making loop bounds more explicit. (CVE-2017-9346)

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

Several vulnerabilities have been found in wireshark, a network traffic analyzer.

CVE-2019-9209: Preventing the crash of the ASN.1 BER and related dissectors by avoiding a buffer overflow associated with excessive digits in time values.

CVE-2017-9349: Fixing an infinite loop in the DICOM dissector by validating a length value.

CVE-2017-9344: Avoid a divide by zero, by validating an interval value in the Bluetooth L2CAP dissector.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u18.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
