The version of nvidia installed on the remote host is prior to 418.197.02-2018.03.117. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1495 advisory.

  • NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys or nvidia.ko) where improper access control may lead to denial of service, information disclosure, or data corruption. (CVE-2021-1076)

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