The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5233 advisory.

  • enlightenment_sys in Enlightenment before 0.25.4 allows local users to gain privileges because it is setuid root, and the system library function mishandles pathnames that begin with a /dev/… substring.
    (CVE-2022-37706)

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