The version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.13.x prior to 4.13.16. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a SMB1 or NFS symlink race condition. A remote authenticated attacker, using the race condition, could potentially create a directory outside of the exported share.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
