The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.4.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.4.8 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, the IEEE 802.11 protocol dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/crypt/airpdcap.c via bounds checking that prevents a buffer over-read. (CVE-2018-14370)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1, 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.15, the Bazaar protocol dissector could go     into an infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c by properly handling items that     are too long. (CVE-2018-14368)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1, 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.15, the BGP protocol dissector could go into     a large loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bgp.c by validating Path Attribute lengths.
    (CVE-2018-14342)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1, 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.15, the ISMP dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ismp.c by validating the IPX address length to avoid a buffer over-     read. (CVE-2018-14344)

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1, 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.15, dissectors that support zlib     decompression could crash. This was addressed in epan/tvbuff_zlib.c by rejecting negative lengths to avoid     a buffer over-read. (CVE-2018-14340)

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

New version 2.6.2. Security fix for CVE-2018-14339, CVE-2018-14340, CVE-2018-14341, CVE-2018-14342, CVE-2018-14343, CVE-2018-14344, CVE-2018-14367, CVE-2018-14368, CVE-2018-14369, CVE-2018-14370.
