The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5036 advisory.

  • SphinxSearch in Sphinx Technologies Sphinx through 3.1.1 allows directory traversal (in conjunction with CVE-2019-14511) because the mysql client can be used for CALL SNIPPETS and load_file operations on a full pathname (e.g., a file in the /etc directory). NOTE: this is unrelated to CMUSphinx. (CVE-2020-29050)

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