"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.8.11. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.11 advisory.
- epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c in the TCP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before
1.10.3 does not properly determine the amount of remaining data, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-6340)
- The ieee802154_map_rec function in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee802154.c in the IEEE 802.15.4 dissector in
Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 uses an incorrect pointer chain, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-6336)
- Unspecified vulnerability in the NBAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-6337)
- The dissect_sip_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x
before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 does not properly initialize a data structure, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-6338)
- The dissect_openwire_type function in epan/dissectors/packet-openwire.c in the OpenWire dissector in
Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-6339)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
