The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA11178 advisory.

  • In Juniper Networks Junos OS there are various cases in the IPv6 socket code where the protocol control block’s state flags are modified during a syscall, but are not restored if the operation fails. This can leave the control block in an inconsistent state. The protocol control block is a structure that maintains the Network Layer state for various sockets. There are various state flags that must be properly maintained to keep the structure consistent. Due to improper maintenance of the IPv6 protocol control block flags through various failure paths, an unprivileged authenticated local user may be able to cause a NULL pointer dereference causing the kernel to crash allowing an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. (CVE-2018-6925)

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