The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 0132ca5b-5d11-11ec-8be6-d4c9ef517024 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the 0132ca5b-5d11-11ec-8be6-d4c9ef517024 advisory.
- Internally libssl in OpenSSL calls X509_verify_cert() on the client side to verify a certificate supplied
by a server. That function may return a negative return value to indicate an internal error (for example
out of memory). Such a negative return value is mishandled by OpenSSL and will cause an IO function (such
as SSL_connect() or SSL_do_handshake()) to not indicate success and a subsequent call to SSL_get_error()
to return the value SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY. This return value is only supposed to be returned by
OpenSSL if the application has previously called SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(). Since most
applications do not do this the SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY return value from SSL_get_error() will be
totally unexpected and applications may not behave correctly as a result. The exact behaviour will depend
on the application but it could result in crashes, infinite loops or other similar incorrect responses.
This issue is made more serious in combination with a separate bug in OpenSSL 3.0 that will cause
X509_verify_cert() to indicate an internal error when processing a certificate chain. This will occur
where a certificate does not include the Subject Alternative Name extension but where a Certificate
Authority has enforced name constraints. This issue can occur even with valid chains. By combining the two
issues an attacker could induce incorrect, application dependent behaviour. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.1
(Affected 3.0.0). (CVE-2021-4044)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
