The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 1.1.1g advisory.

  • Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the signature_algorithms_cert TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack. OpenSSL version 1.1.1d, 1.1.1e, and 1.1.1f are affected by this issue. This issue did not affect OpenSSL versions prior to 1.1.1d. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1g (Affected 1.1.1d-1.1.1f). (CVE-2020-1967)

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