"The version of python3 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.7.16-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2222 advisory.
An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x
before 3.11.5. It primarily affects servers (such as HTTP servers) that use TLS client authentication. If
a TLS server-side socket is created, receives data into the socket buffer, and then is closed quickly,
there is a brief window where the SSLSocket instance will detect the socket as not connected and won't
initiate a handshake, but buffered data will still be readable from the socket buffer. This data will not
be authenticated if the server-side TLS peer is expecting client certificate authentication, and is
indistinguishable from valid TLS stream data. Data is limited in size to the amount that will fit in the
buffer. (The TLS connection cannot directly be used for data exfiltration because the vulnerable code path
requires that the connection be closed on initialization of the SSLSocket.) (CVE-2023-40217)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
