The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 2.2.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.2.17 advisory.
In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.2, 2.4.0 to 2.4.8, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.16, the Bluetooth AVDTP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btavdtp.c by properly initializing a data structure.
(CVE-2018-16058)
In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.2, 2.4.0 to 2.4.8, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.16, the Bluetooth Attribute Protocol dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btatt.c by verifying that a dissector for a specific UUID exists. (CVE-2018-16056)
In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.2, 2.4.0 to 2.4.8, and 2.2.0 to 2.2.16, the Radiotap dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211-radiotap-iter.c by validating iterator operations.
(CVE-2018-16057)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
