The version of Nessus Agent installed on the remote host is 6.10.x prior to 6.10.5. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the agent mode functionality due to insecure permissions. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted sequence of events, to prevent the agent from conducting scans. (CVE-2017-7849)
A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the agent mode functionality due to insecure permissions. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted sequence of events, to gain elevated privileges.
(CVE-2017-7850)
