The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1518 advisory.

  • Hunspell 1.7.0 has an invalid read operation in SuggestMgr::leftcommonsubstring in suggestmgr.cxx.
    (CVE-2019-16707)

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