The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.6.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.6.15 advisory.

  • The LTE RRC dissector could leak memory. It may be possible to make Wireshark 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-16341) (CVE-2020-9431)

  • The WiMax DLMAP dissector 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-16368) (CVE-2020-9430)

  • The EAP dissector 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-16397) (CVE-2020-9428)

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