"The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-2761
advisory.

    The legacy 1.0 version of OpenSSL, a cryptography library for secure communication, fails to validate
    alternate trust chains in some conditions. In particular this breaks connecting to servers that use Let's
    Encrypt certificates, starting 2021-10-01. For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.0.2u-1~deb9u5. We recommend that you upgrade your openssl1.0 packages. For the detailed security status
    of openssl1.0 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-
    tracker.debian.org/tracker/openssl1.0 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to
    apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at:
    https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

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