"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.6.15. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.6.15 advisory.

  - The dissect_ber_choice function in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark
    1.6.x before 1.6.15 and 1.8.x before 1.8.7 does not properly initialize a certain variable, which allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3557)

  - The fragment_add_seq_common function in epan/reassemble.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark before
    r48943 has an incorrect pointer dereference during a comparison, which allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3556)

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