"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has nettle packages installed that are affected by
a vulnerability:

  - A flaw was found in Nettle in versions before 3.7.2, where several Nettle signature verification functions
    (GOST DSA, EDDSA & ECDSA) result in the Elliptic Curve Cryptography point (ECC) multiply function being
    called with out-of-range scalers, possibly resulting in incorrect results. This flaw allows an attacker to
    force an invalid signature, causing an assertion failure or possible validation. The highest threat to
    this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-20305)

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