The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-f8d216faed advisory.
federation_domain_whitelist
can be used to limit federation traffic with a homeserver. (CVE-2023-43796)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver Prior to versions 1.95.1 and 1.96.0rc1, cached device
information of remote users can be queried from Synapse. This can be used to enumerate the remote users
known to a homeserver. System administrators are encouraged to upgrade to Synapse 1.95.1 or 1.96.0rc1 to
receive a patch. As a workaround, the `federation_domain_whitelist` can be used to limit federation
