The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5466 advisory.

  • ntpd will crash if the server is not NTS-enabled (no certificate) and it receives an NTS-enabled client request (mode 3). (CVE-2023-4012)

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