"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 2.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.2.4 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.3 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.9, the DHCPv6 dissector could go into a large loop, triggered
    by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dhcpv6.c by
    changing a data type to avoid an integer overflow. (CVE-2017-5597)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.3 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.9, the ASTERIX dissector could go into an infinite loop,
    triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-
    asterix.c by changing a data type to avoid an integer overflow. (CVE-2017-5596)

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