The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA11179 advisory.

  • On Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved devices where ntp is enabled a crafted malicious authenticated mode 6 packet from a permitted network address can trigger a NULL pointer dereference. Note for this attack to work, the sending system must be on an address from which the target ntpd accepts mode 6 packets, and must use a private key that is specifically listed as being used for mode 6 authorization. The ntpd daemon can crash due to the NULL pointer dereference, causing a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2019-8936)

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