The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3986-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Wireshark improperly handled certain input. A remote or local attacker could cause     Wireshark to crash by injecting malform packets onto the wire or convincing someone to read a malformed     packet trace file.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

According to the versions of the wireshark packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish     operating systems.This package lays base for libpcap, a     packet capture and filtering library, contains     command-line utilities, contains plugins and     documentation for wireshark. A graphical user interface     is packaged separately to GTK+ package.Security     Fix(es):In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7,     and 3.0.0, the LDSS dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c by handling     file digests properly.(CVE-2019-10901)In Wireshark     2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the GSS-API     dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-gssapi.c by ensuring that a     valid dissector is called.(CVE-2019-10894)In Wireshark     2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the     NetScaler file parser could crash. This was addressed     in wiretap etscaler.c by improving data     validation.(CVE-2019-10895)In Wireshark 2.4.0 to     2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the SRVLOC dissector     could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-srvloc.c by preventing a     heap-based buffer under-read.(CVE-2019-10899)In     Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0,     the DCERPC SPOOLSS dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dcerpc-spoolss.c by     adding a boundary check.(CVE-2019-10903)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the DCERPC SPOOLSS dissector could crash. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dcerpc-spoolss.c by adding a boundary check. (CVE-2019-10903)

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 3.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-3.0.1 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the DCERPC SPOOLSS dissector could crash. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dcerpc-spoolss.c by adding a boundary check. (CVE-2019-10903)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the GSS-API dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-gssapi.c by ensuring that a valid dissector is called.
    (CVE-2019-10894)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the NetScaler file parser could crash. This was     addressed in wiretap/netscaler.c by improving data validation. (CVE-2019-10895)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.13, 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, and 3.0.0, the DOF dissector could crash. This was addressed     in epan/dissectors/packet-dof.c by properly handling generated IID and OID bytes. (CVE-2019-10896)

  - In Wireshark 3.0.0, the IEEE 802.11 dissector could go into an infinite loop. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c by detecting cases in which the bit offset does not advance.
    (CVE-2019-10897)

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-2019-10894

Assertion failure in dissect_gssapi_work (packet-gssapi.c) leading to crash of the GSS-API dissector. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to trigger DoS via a packet containing crafted GSS-API payload.

CVE-2019-10895

Insufficient data validation leading to large number of heap buffer overflows read and write in the NetScaler trace handling module (netscaler.c). Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities to trigger DoS, or any other unspecified impact via crafted packets.

CVE-2019-10899

Heap-based buffer under-read vulnerability in the Service Location Protocol dissector. Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities to trigger DoS, or any other unspecified impact via crafted SRVLOC packets.

CVE-2019-10901

NULL pointer dereference in the Local Download Sharing Service protocol dissector. Remote attackers might leverage these flaws to trigger DoS via crafted LDSS packets.

CVE-2019-10903

Missing boundary checks leading to heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Microsoft Spool Subsystem protocol dissector.
Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities to trigger DoS, or any other unspecified impact via crafted SPOOLSS packets.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
