"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.0.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.0.14 advisory.

  - In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the openSAFETY dissector could crash or exhaust
    system memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c by adding length validation.
    NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-9350. (CVE-2017-11411)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.12, the openSAFETY dissector could crash or exhaust system
    memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c by checking for a negative length.
    (CVE-2017-9350)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.5 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.11, the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop,
    triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-
    wbxml.c by adding length validation. (CVE-2017-7702)

  - In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop,
    triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-
    wbxml.c by adding validation of the relationships between indexes and lengths. NOTE: this vulnerability
    exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-7702. (CVE-2017-11410)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.7 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.13, the AMQP dissector could crash. This was addressed in
    epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c by checking for successful list dissection. (CVE-2017-11408)

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