The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3599 advisory.

  • NTLM Challenge Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability [fedora-all] (CVE-2023-42114)

  • SMTP Challenge Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability [fedora-all] (CVE-2023-42116)

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