The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-4.0.2 advisory.
Memory exhaustion in the Kafka protocol dissector in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.9 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2022-4344)
Infinite loops in the BPv6, OpenFlow, and Kafka protocol dissectors in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.9 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2022-4345)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
