The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-2698 advisory.

  • A buffer over-read vulnerability exists in bl <4.0.3, <3.0.1, <2.2.1, and <1.2.3 which could allow an attacker to supply user input (even typed) that if it ends up in consume() argument and can become negative, the BufferList state can be corrupted, tricking it into exposing uninitialized memory via regular .slice() calls. (CVE-2020-8244)

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