"The version of python3 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-0397 advisory.

  - A defect was discovered in the Python ssl module where there is a memory race condition with the
    ssl.SSLContext methods cert_store_stats() and get_ca_certs(). The race condition can be triggered if
    the methods are called at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext, such as during the
    TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured. This issue is fixed in CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9,
    3.12.3, and 3.13.0a5. (CVE-2024-0397)

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