The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.12.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.12.5 advisory.

  - The detect_version function in wiretap/logcat.c in the Android Logcat file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x     before 1.12.5 does not check the length of the payload, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a packet with a crafted payload, as demonstrated by     a length of zero, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3906. (CVE-2015-3815)

  - Multiple memory leaks in the x11_init_protocol function in epan/dissectors/packet-x11.c in the X11     dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3812)

  - The dissect_lbmr_pser function in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmr.c in the LBMR dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x     before 1.12.5 does not reject a zero length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3808)

  - The dissect_lbmr_pser function in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmr.c in the LBMR dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x     before 1.12.5 does not properly track the current offset, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3809)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-websocket.c in the WebSocket dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 uses a     recursive algorithm, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a     crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3810)

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