"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2015-372:01 advisory.

    Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating systems.
    This package lays base for libpcap, a packet capture and filtering
    library, contains command-line utilities, contains plugins and
    documentation for wireshark. A graphical user interface is packaged
    separately to GTK  package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-8710
    CVE-2014-8711
    CVE-2014-8712
    CVE-2014-8713
    CVE-2014-8714
    CVE-2015-0562
    CVE-2015-0564
    CVE-2015-2189
    CVE-2015-2191
    Fixed bugs:
    * Previously, the Wireshark tool did not support Advanced Encryption Standard
    Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) cryptographic algorithm. As a consequence, AES-GCM
    was not decrypted. Support for AES-GCM has been added to Wireshark to fix this bug.
    * Previously, when installing the system using the kickstart method, a
    dependency on the shadow-utils packages was missing from the wireshark packages,
    which could cause the installation to fail with a bad scriptlet error message.
    With this update, the bug has been fixed.
    * Prior to this update, the Wireshark tool could not decode types of elliptic
    curves in Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Client Hello. Consequently,
    Wireshark incorrectly displayed elliptic curves types as data. A patch has been
    applied to address this bug.
    * Previously, a dependency on the gtk2 packages was missing from the wireshark
    packages. As a consequence, the Wireshark tool failed to start under certain
    circumstances due to an unresolved symbol, gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry,
    which was added in gtk version 2.24. With this update, the described problem was fixed.
    Enhancements:
    * With this update, the Wireshark tool supports process substitution, which
    feeds the output of a process (or processes) into the standard input of another
    process using the <(command_list) syntax. When using process substitution
    with large files as input, Wireshark failed to decode such input.
    * Wireshark has been enhanced to enable capturing packets with nanosecond time
    stamp precision, which allows better analysis of recorded network traffic.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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