The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4133-1 advisory.

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

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

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-3.0.3 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 3.0.0 to 3.0.2, 2.6.0 to 2.6.9, and 2.4.0 to 2.4.15, the ASN.1 BER dissector and related     dissectors could crash. This was addressed in epan/asn1.c by properly restricting buffer increments.
