This update for wireshark fixes vulnerabilities that could be used to trigger dissector crashes or cause dissectors to go into large infinite loops by making Wireshark read specially crafted packages from the network or capture files (bsc#1094301). This includes :

  - CVE-2018-11356: DNS dissector crash

  - CVE-2018-11357: Multiple dissectors could consume     excessive memory

  - CVE-2018-11358: Q.931 dissector crash

  - CVE-2018-11359: The RRC dissector and other dissectors     could crash

  - CVE-2018-11360: GSM A DTAP dissector crash

  - CVE-2018-11362: LDSS dissector crash

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.2.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.2.15 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0, 2.4.0 to 2.4.6, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.14, the LDSS dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c by avoiding a buffer over-read upon encountering a missing '\0'     character. (CVE-2018-11362)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0, 2.4.0 to 2.4.6, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.14, the LTP dissector and other dissectors could     consume excessive memory. This was addressed in epan/tvbuff.c by rejecting negative lengths.
    (CVE-2018-11357)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0, 2.4.0 to 2.4.6, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.14, the DNS dissector could crash. This was addressed     in epan/dissectors/packet-dns.c by avoiding a NULL pointer dereference for an empty name in an SRV record.
    (CVE-2018-11356)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0, 2.4.0 to 2.4.6, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.14, the GSM A DTAP dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_a_dtap.c by fixing an off-by-one error that caused a buffer     overflow. (CVE-2018-11360)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0, 2.4.0 to 2.4.6, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.14, the Q.931 dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-q931.c by avoiding a use-after-free after a malformed packet prevented     certain cleanup. (CVE-2018-11358)

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