The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.1e-dev. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 1.1.1e-dev advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.1e-dev. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the 1.1.1e-dev advisory.
- There is an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery
squaring procedure used in exponentiation with 512-bit
moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests
that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024, 3-prime RSA1536,
and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
Attacks against DH512 are considered just feasible.
However, for an attack the target would have to re-use
the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
Also applications directly using the low level API
BN_mod_exp may be affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1e-dev (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1d).
(CVE-2019-1551)
