The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.14 or 2.2.x prior to 2.2.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  • A denial of service vulnerability exists in the DAAP dissector, specifically in the dissect_daap_one_tag() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-daap.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to exhaust stack resources through uncontrolled recursion.
    (CVE-2017-9617)

  • An infinite loop condition exists in the DOCSIS dissector, specifically in the dissect_docsis() function within file plugins/docsis/packet-docsis.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace, to consume available CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-11406)

  • A memory allocation issue exists in the MQ dissector, specifically in the reassemble_mq() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c, due to improper validation of fragment lengths before attempting reassembly. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-11407)

  • A flaw exists in the AMQP dissector, specifically in the get_amqp_1_0_value_formatter() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c, when decoding lists.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace, to cause a stack overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-11408)

  • A large loop condition exists in the GPRS LLC dissector, specifically in the llc_gprs_dissect_xid() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-gprs-llc.c, when handling specially crafted packet or trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. Note that this issue only applies to version 2.0.x. (CVE-2017-11409)

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