According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2024-07 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"According to its self-reported version, the Nessus Network Monitor running on the remote host is prior to 6.4.0. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2024-07 advisory.
- Nessus Network Monitor leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of
the third-party components (hyperscan, curl and c-ares)were found to contain vulnerabilities, and
updated versions have been made available by the providers.Out of caution and in line with best practice,
Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Nessus
Network Monitor 6.4.0 updates hyperscan to version 5.4.2, curl to version 8.6.0, and c-ares to version
1.28.0. Tenable has released Nessus Network Monitor 6.4.0 to address these issues. The installation files
can be obtained from the Tenable Downloads Portal (https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus-network-
monitor). (CVE-2023-28711, CVE-2023-46218, CVE-2023-46219, CVE-2024-25629)
