In Wireshark 2.4.0, the Modbus dissector could crash with a NULL pointer dereference. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-mbtcp.c by adding length validation.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 2.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.4.1 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0, 2.2.0 to 2.2.8, and 2.0.0 to 2.0.14, the MSDP dissector could go into an infinite     loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-msdp.c by adding length validation. (CVE-2017-13767)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.8, the Profinet I/O dissector could crash with an out-of-bounds write.
    This was addressed in plugins/profinet/packet-dcerpc-pn-io.c by adding string validation. (CVE-2017-13766)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0, the Modbus dissector could crash with a NULL pointer dereference. This was addressed     in epan/dissectors/packet-mbtcp.c by adding length validation. (CVE-2017-13764)

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0, 2.2.0 to 2.2.8, and 2.0.0 to 2.0.14, the IrCOMM dissector has a buffer over-read and     application crash. This was addressed in plugins/irda/packet-ircomm.c by adding length validation.
    (CVE-2017-13765)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In Wireshark 2.4.0, the Modbus dissector could crash with a NULL pointer dereference. This was addressed     in epan/dissectors/packet-mbtcp.c by adding length validation. (CVE-2017-13764)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
