"The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 0.9.8a. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the 0.9.8a advisory.
- The SSL/TLS server implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 before 0.9.8a, when using the
SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING option, disables a verification step that is required for preventing
protocol version rollback attacks, which allows remote attackers to force a client and server to use a
weaker protocol than needed via a man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2005-2969)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
