The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.6.24. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-3.6.24 advisory.

  • Use after free issue in editcap could cause denial of service via crafted capture file (CVE-2024-4855)

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