The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3634 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in the way NSS handled CCS (ChangeCipherSpec) messages in TLS 1.3. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send multiple CCS messages, causing a denial of service for servers compiled with the NSS library. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects NSS versions before 3.58. (CVE-2020-25648)

  • new tlsfuzzer code can still detect timing issues in RSA operations (CVE-2023-4421) (CVE-2023-4421)

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