"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.8.12. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.12 advisory.

  - Multiple buffer overflows in the create_ntlmssp_v2_key function in epan/dissectors/packet-ntlmssp.c in the
    NTLMSSP v2 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.12 and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 allow remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long domain name in a packet. (CVE-2013-7114)

  - The dissect_sip_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x
    before 1.8.12 and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 does not check for empty lines, which allows remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-7112)

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