The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2862 advisory.
mainproc.c in GnuPG before 2.2.8 mishandles the original filename during decryption and verification actions, which allows remote attackers to spoof the output that GnuPG sends on file descriptor 2 to other programs that use the --status-fd 2 option. For example, the OpenPGP data might represent an original filename that contains line feed characters in conjunction with GOODSIG or VALIDSIG status codes.
(CVE-2018-12020)
python-gnupg 0.4.3 allows context-dependent attackers to trick gnupg to decrypt other ciphertext than intended. To perform the attack, the passphrase to gnupg must be controlled by the adversary and the ciphertext should be trusted. Related to a CWE-20: Improper Input Validation issue affecting the affect functionality component. (CVE-2019-6690)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
