The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 0.9.8q. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 0.9.8q advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.

attackers to force the downgrade to an unintended cipher via vectors involving sniffing network traffic to
discover a session identifier. (CVE-2010-4180)
