The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.13 or 2.2.x prior to 2.2.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     dissect_msnip() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-msnip.c due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-9343)

  - A divide-by-zero error exists in the     dissect_connparamrequest() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-btl2cap.c due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-9344)

  - An infinite loop condition exists in the     expand_dns_name() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-dns.c when handling packets or     packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or     packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-9345)

  - An infinite loop condition exists in the     dissect_slsk_pdu() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c when handling packets or     packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or     packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-9346)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     ros_try_string() function within file     epan/dissectors/asn1/ros/packet-ros-template.c due to     improper validation of user-supplied input passed as an     OID string. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet     trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. This     issue only affects version 2.2.x. (CVE-2017-9347)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the     OALMarshal_UncompressValue() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-dof.c when handling Distributed     Object Framework (DOF) packets. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial     of service condition. This issue only affects version     2.2.x. (CVE-2017-9348)

  - An infinite loop condition exists in the     dissect_dcm_pdu_data() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c when handling packets or     packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or     packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-9349)

  - A memory allocation issue exists in the     dissect_opensafety_ssdo_message() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-9350)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the bootp_option()     function within file epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c when     handling vendor class identifier strings in bootp     packets due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace     file, to cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-9351)

  - An infinite loop condition exists in the     get_bzr_pdu_len() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c when handling packets or     packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or     packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-9352)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     dissect_routing6_rpl() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-ipv6.c due to improper validation     of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of     service condition. This issue only affects version     2.2.x. (CVE-2017-9353)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     dissect_rgmp() function within file     epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c due to improper validation     of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-9354)

This update for wireshark fixes minor vulnerabilities that could be used to trigger dissector crashes, infinite loops, or cause excessive use of CPU resources by making Wireshark read specially crafted packages from the network or a capture file :

  - CVE-2017-9352: Bazaar dissector infinite loop     (boo#1042304)

  - CVE-2017-9348: DOF dissector read overflow (boo#1042303)

  - CVE-2017-9349: DICOM dissector infinite loop     (boo#1042305)

  - CVE-2017-9350: openSAFETY dissector memory exhaustion     (boo#1042299)

  - CVE-2017-9344: BT L2CAP dissector divide by zero     (boo#1042298)

  - CVE-2017-9343: MSNIP dissector crash (boo#1042309)

  - CVE-2017-9347: ROS dissector crash (boo#1042308)

  - CVE-2017-9354: RGMP dissector crash (boo#1042307)

  - CVE-2017-9353: IPv6 dissector crash (boo#1042306)

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-4.0.8 advisory.

  - Multiple integer signedness errors in the tvb_unmasked function in epan/dissectors/packet-websocket.c in     the Websocket dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3562)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the SoulSeek dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c by making loop bounds more explicit. (CVE-2017-9346)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.7, PROFINET IO data with a high recursion depth allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq function in plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn-     io.c. (CVE-2017-9766)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.5 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.13, the VLAN dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-vlan.c by limiting VLAN tag nesting to restrict the recursion depth.
    (CVE-2018-9262)

  - Uncontrolled Recursion in the Bluetooth DHT dissector in Wireshark 3.4.0 to 3.4.9 and 3.2.0 to 3.2.17     allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2021-39929)

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