The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 3.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-3.6.1 advisory.

  • The RTMPT dissector could go into an infinite loop. It may be possible to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (CVE-2021-4185)

  • The BitTorrent DHT dissector could go into an infinite loop. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
    (CVE-2021-4184)

  • The pcapng file parser could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (CVE-2021-4183)

  • The RFC 7468 file parser could go into an infinite loop. It may be possible to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (CVE-2021-4182)

  • The Sysdig Event dissector could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
    (CVE-2021-4181)

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