The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2013-33:01 advisory.

    Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating systems.
    This package lays base for libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library, contains command-line     utilities, contains plugins and documentation for wireshark. A graphical user interface is packaged     separately to GTK+ package.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2011-1958     Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.17 and 1.4.x before 1.4.7 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted Diameter dictionary file.
     CVE-2011-1959     The snoop_read function in wiretap/snoop.c in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.17 and 1.4.x before 1.4.7 does     not properly handle certain virtualizable buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a large length value in a snoop file that triggers a stack-based buffer     over-read.
     CVE-2011-2175     Integer underflow in the visual_read function in wiretap/visual.c in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.17 and     1.4.x before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     malformed Visual Networks file that triggers a heap-based buffer over-read.
     CVE-2011-2698     Off-by-one error in the elem_cell_id_aux function in epan/dissectors/packet-ansi_a.c in the ANSI MAP     dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.8 and 1.6.x before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (infinite loop) via an invalid packet.
     CVE-2011-4102     Heap-based buffer overflow in the erf_read_header function in wiretap/erf.c in the ERF file parser in     Wireshark 1.4.0 through 1.4.9 and 1.6.x before 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed file.
     CVE-2012-0041     The dissect_packet function in epan/packet.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long packet in a capture     file, as demonstrated by an airopeek file.
     CVE-2012-0042     Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 does not properly perform certain string conversions,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application     crash) via a crafted packet, related to epan/to_str.c.
     CVE-2012-0066     Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a long packet in a (1) Accellent 5Views (aka .5vw) file, (2) I4B trace file, or     (3) NETMON 2 capture file.
     CVE-2012-0067     wiretap/iptrace.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) via a long packet in an AIX iptrace file.
     CVE-2012-4285     The dissect_pft function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x     before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a zero-length message.
     CVE-2012-4289     epan/dissectors/packet-afp.c in the AFP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10,     and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via     a large number of ACL entries.
     CVE-2012-4290 The CTDB dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.8.x before     1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via a malformed     packet.
     CVE-2012-4291 The CIP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.8.x before     1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a malformed packet.
    Fixed bugs:

     Fixed the parsing of link-local IPv6 addresses and Wireshark can prepare capture filter to omit SSH     packets over a link-local IPv6 connection.
     Wireshark's column editing does not brak column names any longer.
     TShark now properly analyzes the exit code of Dumpcap and propagates it correctly.
     The TShark -s (snapshot length) has been fixed: it now works fine with sizes lower that 68 bytes.
    Enhancement:
     Added support for the NetDump protocol was added.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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