"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.12.4. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.12.4 advisory.

  - Integer overflow in the dissect_osd2_cdb_continuation function in epan/dissectors/packet-scsi-osd.c in the
    SCSI OSD dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (infinite loop) via a crafted length field in a packet. (CVE-2015-2192)

  - The dissect_atn_cpdlc_heur function in asn1/atn-cpdlc/packet-atn-cpdlc-template.c in the ATN-CPDLC
    dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 does not properly follow the TRY/ENDTRY code requirements,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack memory corruption and application crash)
    via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-2187)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c in the WCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.13 and 1.12.x before
    1.12.4 does not properly initialize a data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled during
    decompression. (CVE-2015-2188)

  - Off-by-one error in the pcapng_read function in wiretap/pcapng.c in the pcapng file parser in Wireshark
    1.10.x before 1.10.13 and 1.12.x before 1.12.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-
    of-bounds read and application crash) via an invalid Interface Statistics Block (ISB) interface ID in a
    crafted packet. (CVE-2015-2189)

  - epan/proto.c in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 does not properly handle integer data types greater than 32
    bits in size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and
    application exit) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled by the LLDP dissector. (CVE-2015-2190)

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