The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 3.6.20. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-3.6.20 advisory.
GVCP dissector crash in Wireshark 4.2.0, 4.0.0 to 4.0.11, and 3.6.0 to 3.6.19 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2024-0208)
IEEE 1609.2 dissector crash in Wireshark 4.2.0, 4.0.0 to 4.0.11, and 3.6.0 to 3.6.19 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2024-0209)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
