The version of wireshark installed on the remote host is prior to 2.6.2-15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2187 advisory.

  • VMS TCPIPtrace file parser crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2856)

  • XRA dissector infinite loop in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2952)

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