The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.10.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.14 advisory.

  • epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c in the WCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 improperly refers to previously processed bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2188.
    (CVE-2015-3811)

  • Multiple memory leaks in the x11_init_protocol function in epan/dissectors/packet-x11.c in the X11 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3812)

  • The (1) dissect_tfs_request and (2) dissect_tfs_response functions in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c in the IEEE 802.11 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 interpret a zero value as a length rather than an error condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3814)

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