The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2853 advisory.

  • Date.parse in the date gem through 3.2.0 for Ruby allows ReDoS (regular expression Denial of Service) via a long string. The fixed versions are 3.2.1, 3.1.2, 3.0.2, and 2.0.1. (CVE-2021-41817)

  • CGI::Cookie.parse in Ruby through 2.6.8 mishandles security prefixes in cookie names. This also affects the CGI gem through 0.3.0 for Ruby. (CVE-2021-41819)

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