The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.6.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-3.6.12 advisory.

  • The ISO 15765 and ISO 10681 dissectors could crash. 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-2023-1161)

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