Read the vulnerability report and see if a specific platform is listed. If not it's cross platform.

This particular vulnerability is possible on all platforms as the parsers are common to all platforms.

Other parsing vulnerabilities would also likely to be present on all platforms, but issues with other parts of Wireshark may not be. You'll have to check on a case by case basis.
