The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is 2.2.x prior to 2.2.17 / 2.4.x prior to 2.4.9 / 2.6.x prior to 2.6.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the following protocol dissectors:
Bluetooth Attribute Protocol
Radiotap
Bluetooth AVDTP
An attacker could cause Wireshark to crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace file.
