"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.10.2. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.2 advisory.

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the LDAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-5722)

  - Buffer overflow in the RTPS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5720)

  - The Bluetooth HCI ACL dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not properly maintain a certain
    free list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted
    packet that is not properly handled by the wmem_block_alloc function in epan/wmem/wmem_allocator_block.c.
    (CVE-2013-5717)

  - The dissect_nbap_T_dCH_ID function in epan/dissectors/packet-nbap.c in the NBAP dissector in Wireshark
    1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not restrict the dch_id value, which allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5718)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the ASSA R3 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x
    before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-5719)

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