"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.8.9. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.9 advisory.
- The dissect_per_length_determinant function in epan/dissectors/packet-per.c in the ASN.1 PER dissector in
Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not initialize a length field in certain
abnormal situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a
crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4935)
- The parseFields function in epan/dissectors/packet-dis-pdus.c in the DIS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x
before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not terminate packet-data processing after finding zero
remaining bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-4929)
- Integer signedness error in the get_type_length function in epan/dissectors/packet-btsdp.c in the
Bluetooth SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4927)
- The dissect_dvbci_tpdu_hdr function in epan/dissectors/packet-dvbci.c in the DVB-CI dissector in Wireshark
1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not validate a certain length value before decrementing
it, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit)
via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4930)
- epan/proto.c in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet that is not properly handled by the GSM RR dissector.
(CVE-2013-4931)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
