The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 1.12.x prior to 1.12.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :
An infinite loop exists in the SPOOLs dissector. A remote attacker, via a specially crafted packet or trace file, can exploit this to exhaust CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-5350)
A flaw exists in the IEEE 802.11 dissector that is triggered when handling a malformed packet or trace file. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5351)
A flaw exists in the UMTS FP dissector that is triggered when handling a malformed packet or trace file. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5353)
A flaw exists in multiple USB dissectors that is triggered when a handling malformed packet or trace file. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5354)
A flaw exists in the Toshiba file parser that is triggered when handling a malformed packet trace file. A remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5355)
A flaw exists in the CoSine file parser that is triggered when handling a malformed packet trace file. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5356)
A flaw exists in the NetScreen file parser that is triggered when handling a malformed packet trace file. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5357)
An integer overflow condition exists in the WBXML dissector. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or trace file, to exhaust CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2016-5359)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
