The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-2966 advisory.

  • Integer overflow vulnerability in bdwgc before 2016-09-27 allows attackers to cause client of bdwgc denial of service (heap buffer overflow crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via huge allocation.
    (CVE-2016-9427)

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