The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 1.10.x prior to 1.10.14, or 1.12.x prior to 1.12.5. It is, therefore, affected by various denial of service vulnerabilities in the following items :

  • LBMR dissector (CVE-2015-3808, CVE-2015-3809)

  • WebSocket dissector (CVE-2015-3810)

  • WCP dissector (CVE-2015-3811)

  • X11 dissector (CVE-2015-3812)

  • Packet reassembly code (CVE-2015-3813)

  • IEEE 802.11 dissector (CVE-2015-3814)

  • Android Logcat file parser (CVE-2015-3815, CVE-2015-3906)

A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause Wireshark to crash or consume excessive CPU resources, either by injecting a specially crafted packet onto the wire or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace or PCAP file.

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