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 1aaaa5c6-804d-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 1aaaa5c6-804d-11ec-8be6-d4c9ef517024 advisory.
- There is a carry propagation bug in the MIPS32 and MIPS64 squaring procedure. Many EC algorithms are
affected, including some of the TLS 1.3 default curves. Impact was not analyzed in detail, because the
pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely and include reusing private keys. Analysis suggests that
attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not
believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because most of
the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of
resources required for such an attack would be significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be
meaningful, the server would have to share the DH private key among multiple clients, which is no longer
an option since CVE-2016-0701. This issue affects OpenSSL versions 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 3.0.0. It was
addressed in the releases of 1.1.1m and 3.0.1 on the 15th of December 2021. For the 1.0.2 release it is
addressed in git commit 6fc1aaaf3 that is available to premium support customers only. It will be made
available in 1.0.2zc when it is released. The issue only affects OpenSSL on MIPS platforms. Fixed in
OpenSSL 3.0.1 (Affected 3.0.0). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1m (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1l). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2zc-
dev (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zb). (CVE-2021-4160)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
