The version of linuxptp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1705 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in the ptp4l program of the linuxptp package. When ptp4l is operating on a little-endian architecture as a PTP transparent clock, a remote attacker could send a crafted one-step sync message to cause an information leak or crash. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system availability. This flaw affects linuxptp versions before 3.1.1 and before 2.0.1.
    (CVE-2021-3571)

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