The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.0.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-4.0.11 advisory.

  • The SSH dissector could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash or consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (wireshark-bug-19369)

  • The NetScreen file parser could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (wireshark-bug-19404)

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