The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 3.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-3.2.2 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, 3.0.0 to 3.0.8, and 2.6.0 to 2.6.14, the LTE RRC dissector could leak memory.
    This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-lte-rrc.c by adjusting certain append operations.
    (CVE-2020-9431)

  - In Wireshark 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, 3.0.0 to 3.0.8, and 2.6.0 to 2.6.14, the WiMax DLMAP dissector could crash.
    This was addressed in plugins/epan/wimax/msg_dlmap.c by validating a length field. (CVE-2020-9430)

  - In Wireshark 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, 3.0.0 to 3.0.8, and 2.6.0 to 2.6.14, the EAP dissector could crash. This was     addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-eap.c by using more careful sscanf parsing. (CVE-2020-9428)

  - In Wireshark 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, the WireGuard dissector could crash. This was addressed in     epan/dissectors/packet-wireguard.c by handling the situation where a certain data structure intentionally     has a NULL value. (CVE-2020-9429)

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