The remote Debian 12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5674 advisory.

  • A crafted response from an upstream server the recursor has been configured to forward-recurse to can cause a Denial of Service in the Recursor. The default configuration of the Recursor does not use recursive forwarding and is not affected. (CVE-2024-25583)

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