"The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
openSUSE-SU-2021:1094-1 advisory.

  - In GNOME glib-networking through 2.64.2, the implementation of GTlsClientConnection skips hostname
    verification of the server's TLS certificate if the application fails to specify the expected server
    identity. This is in contrast to its intended documented behavior, to fail the certificate verification.
    Applications that fail to provide the server identity, including Balsa before 2.5.11 and 2.6.x before
    2.6.1, accept a TLS certificate if the certificate is valid for any host. (CVE-2020-13645)

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