The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.3 Monterey. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:
  - A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. Successful exploitation could   result in arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges (CVE-2022-22614). 

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. Successful exploitation could result in   privilege escalation (CVE-2022-22632).

  - A null pointer dereference was addressed with improved validation. Successful exploitation could   result in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-22638).

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.
