"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.10.1. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.1 advisory.

  - The IsDFP_Frame function in plugins/profinet/packet-pn-rt.c in the PROFINET Real-Time dissector in
    Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not validate MAC addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4936)

  - The parseFields function in epan/dissectors/packet-dis-pdus.c in the DIS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x
    before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not terminate packet-data processing after finding zero
    remaining bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-4929)

  - The dissect_pft function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x
    before 1.6.16, 1.8.x before 1.8.8, and 1.10.0 does not validate a certain fragment length value, which
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-4083)

  - The P1 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not properly initialize a global variable, which
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-4920)

  - Off-by-one error in the dissect_radiotap function in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211-radiotap.c in the
    Radiotap dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4921)

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