The version of busybox installed on the remote host is prior to 1.19.3-2.12. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1496 advisory.

  • decompress_gunzip.c in BusyBox through 1.32.1 mishandles the error bit on the huft_build result pointer, with a resultant invalid free or segmentation fault, via malformed gzip data. (CVE-2021-28831)

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