  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: JSSE). Supported
    versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u261, 8u251, 11.0.7 and 14.0.1; Java SE Embedded: 8u251.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to
    compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized
    read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: Applies to client and server
    deployment of Java. This vulnerability can be exploited through sandboxed Java Web Start applications and
    sandboxed Java applets. It can also be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component
    without using sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, such as through a web
    service. (CVE-2020-14577)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
