The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2852 advisory.

  • Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that appender. (CVE-2020-9488)

  • Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0 (excluding 2.12.3) did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. This allows an attacker with control over Thread Context Map data to cause a denial of service when a crafted string is interpreted. This issue was fixed in Log4j 2.17.0 and 2.12.3. (CVE-2021-45105)

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