The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3576 advisory.

  • A buffer overflow can occur when calculating the quantile value using the Statistics Library of GSL (GNU Scientific Library), versions 2.5 and 2.6. Processing a maliciously crafted input data for gsl_stats_quantile_from_sorted_data of the library may lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-35357)

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