"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.8.3. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.3 advisory.

  - Buffer overflow in the dissect_tlv function in epan/dissectors/packet-ldp.c in the LDP dissector in
    Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or
    possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed packet. (CVE-2012-5240)

  - The dissect_hsrp function in epan/dissectors/packet-hsrp.c in the HSRP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before
    1.8.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2012-5237)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-ppp.c in the PPP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.3 uses incorrect OUI data
    structures during the decoding of (1) PPP and (2) LCP data, which allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2012-5238)

  - Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2012-3548. Reason: This candidate is a
    reservation duplicate of CVE-2012-3548. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2012-3548 instead of
    this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental
    usage (CVE-2012-5239)

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