The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.8.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.8 advisory.

  - The dissect_pft function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x     before 1.6.16, 1.8.x before 1.8.8, and 1.10.0 does not validate a certain fragment length value, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-4083)

  - The dissect_capwap_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-capwap.c in the CAPWAP dissector in Wireshark     1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 incorrectly uses a -1 data value to represent an error     condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted     packet. (CVE-2013-4074)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-gmr1_bcch.c in the GMR-1 BCCH dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not     properly initialize memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)     via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4075)

  - Buffer overflow in the dissect_iphc_crtp_fh function in epan/dissectors/packet-ppp.c in the PPP dissector     in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)     via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4076)

  - Array index error in the NBAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.8 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, related to nbap.cnf and packet-nbap.c.
    (CVE-2013-4077)

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