The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5728 advisory.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-5728-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso July 10, 2024 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : exim4 CVE ID : CVE-2024-39929 Debian Bug : 1075785
Phillip Szelat discovered that Exim, a mail transport agent, does not properly parse a multiline RFC 2231 header filename, allowing a remote attacker to bypass a $mime_filename based extension-blocking protection mechanism.
For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 4.94.2-7+deb11u3.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 4.96-15+deb12u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your exim4 packages.
For the detailed security status of exim4 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/exim4
Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://www.debian.org/security/

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
