The version of transfig installed on the remote host is prior to 3.2.8a-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1682 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

allow an attacker to provide a crafted malicious input causing the application to either crash or in some
cases cause memory corruption. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity as well as
system availability. (CVE-2021-3561)
