"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.0.13 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the RGMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in
    epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c by validating an IPv4 address. (CVE-2017-9354)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the Bazaar dissector could go into an infinite loop. This
    was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c by ensuring that backwards parsing cannot occur.
    (CVE-2017-9352)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the DHCP dissector could read past the end of a buffer.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c by extracting the Vendor Class Identifier more
    carefully. (CVE-2017-9351)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the SoulSeek dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c by making loop bounds more explicit. (CVE-2017-9346)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the DNS dissector could go into an infinite loop. This
    was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dns.c by trying to detect self-referencing pointers.
    (CVE-2017-9345)

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