The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3070 advisory.
A vulnerability found in gnutls. This security flaw happens because of a double free error occurs during verification of pkcs7 signatures in gnutls_pkcs7_verify function. (CVE-2022-2509)
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in GnuTLS. As Nettle’s hash update functions internally call memcpy, providing zero-length input may cause undefined behavior. This flaw leads to a denial of service after authentication in rare circumstances. (CVE-2021-4209)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
