The version of nss installed on the remote host is prior to 3.53.1-7. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1664 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in the way NSS handled CCS (ChangeCipherSpec) messages in TLS 1.3. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send multiple CCS messages, causing a denial of service for servers compiled with the NSS library. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects NSS versions before 3.58. (CVE-2020-25648)

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