The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.2.1 Monterey. It is, therefore, affected by a use after free issue which was addressed with improved memory management. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution on an affected host.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating systemβs self-reported version number.
