The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 3.2.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-3.2.6 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
