The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-c0762a0e57 advisory.

  • praecis_parse in ntpd/refclock_palisade.c in NTP 4.2.8p15 has an out-of-bounds write. Any attack method would be complex, e.g., with a manipulated GPS receiver. (CVE-2023-26555)

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