"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is
1.12.x prior to 1.12.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial
of service vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when adding
    an item to the protocol tree. A remote attacker can
    exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet
    trace file, to cause the application to crash, resulting
    in a denial of service condition.

  - An invalid memory freeing flaw exists in the Memory
    Manager. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause
    the application to crash, resulting in a denial of
    service condition.

  - An unspecified flaw exists when searching for a protocol
    dissector. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause
    the application to crash, resulting in a denial of
    service condition.

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the ZigBee dissector. A
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially
    crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause the
    application to crash, resulting in a denial of service
    condition.

  - A flaw exists in the GSM RLC/MAC dissector that results
    in an infinite loop. A remote attacker can exploit this,
    via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to
    cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial of
    service condition.

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the WaveAgent dissector. A
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially
    crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause the
    application to crash, resulting in a denial of service
    condition.

  - A flaw exists in the OpenFlow dissector that results in
    an infinite loop. A remote attacker can exploit this,
    via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to
    consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial
    of service condition.

  - A flaw exists due to improper validation of ptvcursor
    lengths. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause
    the application to crash, resulting in a denial of
    service condition.

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the WCCP dissector. A
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially
    crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause the
    application to crash, resulting in a denial of service
    condition.

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