"The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 4.2.9. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-4.2.9 advisory.

  - The FiveCo RAP dissector could go into an infinite loop. Fixed in master: d8ca9fc339 Fixed in release-4.4:
    4d58fef602 Fixed in release-4.2: 686dff0f01 Discovered in our internal testing environment. We are unaware
    of any exploits for this issue. 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-2024-11595)

  - The ECMP dissector could crash. Fixed in master: c8e5887073 Fixed in release-4.4: 8fd60c6448 Fixed in
    release-4.2: 06e0b0bb09 Discovered by Ivan Nardi We are unaware of any exploits for this issue. It may be
    possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to
    read a malformed packet trace file. (CVE-2024-11596)

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