"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.2.16. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.2.16 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.1, 2.4.0 to 2.4.7, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.15, the Bazaar protocol dissector could go
    into an infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c by properly handling items that
    are too long. (CVE-2018-14368)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-rpcrdma.c had an infinite loop
    that was addressed by validating a chunk size. (CVE-2018-7333)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-thrift.c had a large loop that was
    addressed by not proceeding with dissection after encountering an unexpected type. (CVE-2018-7321)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c had an infinite loop that
    was addressed by checking for integer wraparound. (CVE-2018-7322)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.12, epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c had a large loop that was
    addressed by ensuring that a calculated length was monotonically increasing. (CVE-2018-7323)

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