The version of libssh2 installed on the remote host is prior to 1.4.2-3.14. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1834 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in function _libssh2_packet_add in libssh2 1.10.0 allows attackers to access out of bounds memory. (CVE-2020-22218)

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