The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.14 or 2.2.x prior to 2.2.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the DAAP     dissector, specifically in the dissect_daap_one_tag()     function within file epan/dissectors/packet-daap.c. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     exhaust stack resources through uncontrolled recursion.
    (CVE-2017-9617)

  - An infinite loop condition exists in the DOCSIS     dissector, specifically in the dissect_docsis() function     within file plugins/docsis/packet-docsis.c. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted packet or packet trace, to consume     available CPU resources, resulting in a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-11406)

  - A memory allocation issue exists in the MQ dissector,     specifically in the reassemble_mq() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c, due to improper validation     of fragment lengths before attempting reassembly. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-11407)

  - A flaw exists in the AMQP dissector, specifically in     the get_amqp_1_0_value_formatter() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c, when decoding lists.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause     a stack overflow, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2017-11408)

  - A large loop condition exists in the GPRS LLC dissector,     specifically in the llc_gprs_dissect_xid() function     within file epan/dissectors/packet-gprs-llc.c, when     handling specially crafted packet or trace files. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. Note that this     issue only applies to version 2.0.x. (CVE-2017-11409)

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

This update for wireshark to version 2.2.11 fixes several issues.
These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-13767: The MSDP dissector could have gone into     an infinite loop. This was addressed by adding length     validation (bsc#1056248)

  - CVE-2017-13766: The Profinet I/O dissector could have     crash with an out-of-bounds write. This was addressed by     adding string validation (bsc#1056249)

  - CVE-2017-13765: The IrCOMM dissector had a buffer     over-read and application crash. This was addressed by     adding length validation (bsc#1056251)

  - CVE-2017-9766: PROFINET IO data with a high recursion     depth allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq     function (bsc#1045341)

  - CVE-2017-9617: Deeply nested DAAP data may have cause     stack exhaustion (uncontrolled recursion) in the     dissect_daap_one_tag function in the DAAP dissector     (bsc#1044417)

  - CVE-2017-15192: The BT ATT dissector could crash. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btatt.c by     considering a case where not all of the BTATT packets     have the same encapsulation level. (bsc#1062645)

  - CVE-2017-15193: The MBIM dissector could crash or     exhaust system memory. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-mbim.c by changing the     memory-allocation approach. (bsc#1062645)

  - CVE-2017-15191: The DMP dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dmp.c by validating     a string length. (bsc#1062645)

  - CVE-2017-17083: NetBIOS dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-netbios.c by     ensuring that write operations are bounded by the     beginning of a buffer. (bsc#1070727)

  - CVE-2017-17084: IWARP_MPA dissector could crash. This     was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-iwarp-mpa.c by     validating a ULPDU length. (bsc#1070727)

  - CVE-2017-17085: the CIP Safety dissector could crash.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-cipsafety.c     by validating the packet length. (bsc#1070727)
