"The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2017-2315:02 advisory.

    * A carry propagation flaw was found in the implementation of the P-256
    elliptic curve in golang. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to extract
    private keys when static ECDH was used. (CVE-2017-8932)
    Additional Changes:
    For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Asianux Server
    7.4 Release Notes linked from the References section.
    CVE-2017-8932
    A bug in the standard library ScalarMult implementation of curve P-256
    for amd64 architectures in Go before 1.7.6 and 1.8.x before 1.8.2
    causes incorrect results to be generated for specific input points. An
    adaptive attack can be mounted to progressively extract the scalar
    input to ScalarMult by submitting crafted points and observing
    failures to the derive correct output. This leads to a full key
    recovery attack against static ECDH, as used in popular JWT libraries.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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