The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 3.2.13. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-3.2.13 advisory.

  • The MS-WSP dissector could consume excessive amounts of memory. It may be possible to make Wireshark consume excessive CPU resources by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. (CVE-2021-22207)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
