"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.2.11 or 4.4.4.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-4.2.11 advisory.

  - The Bundle Protocol and CBOR dissectors could crash. Fixed in master: 83c73a83ad Fixed in release-4.4:
    73d7d46bcc Fixed in release-4.2: 2e5e8c1d9a Discovered by OSS-Fuzz. We are unaware of any exploits for
    this issue. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a
    malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
    (CVE-2025-1492)

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