"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.8.7. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.7 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)
- Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (loop or application crash) via a malformed packet, related to a crash of the Websocket dissector,
an infinite loop in the MySQL dissector, and a large loop in the ETCH dissector. (CVE-2013-3561)
- The dissect_diagnosticrequest function in epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c in the REsource LOcation And
Discovery (aka RELOAD) dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.6 uses an incorrect integer data type,
which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted integer values in a
packet. (CVE-2013-2486)
- epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c in the REsource LOcation And Discovery (aka RELOAD) dissector in Wireshark
1.8.x before 1.8.6 uses incorrect integer data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (infinite loop) via crafted integer values in a packet, related to the (1) dissect_icecandidates,
(2) dissect_kinddata, (3) dissect_nodeid_list, (4) dissect_storeans, (5) dissect_storereq, (6)
dissect_storeddataspecifier, (7) dissect_fetchreq, (8) dissect_findans, (9) dissect_diagnosticinfo, (10)
dissect_diagnosticresponse, (11) dissect_reload_messagecontents, and (12) dissect_reload_message
functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-2486. (CVE-2013-2487)
- epan/dissectors/packet-gtpv2.c in the GTPv2 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 calls incorrect
functions in certain contexts related to ciphers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (application crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3555)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
