Wireshark 2.0.x < 2.0.16 DMP dissector DoS (MacOS)

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote MacOS(X) host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.16. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the DMP dissector. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

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