The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the Modbus, IrCOMM, Profinet I/O, and MSDP dissectors. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
