The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.5.1 Monterey. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
An out-of-bound write issue in Webkit that may lead to arbitrary code execution when processing maliciously crafted web content. (CVE-2022-32893)
An out-of-bounds write issue in the kernel that may lead to arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges. (CVE-2022-32894)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system’s self-reported version number.
