The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.17.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.17.0.3 advisory.

  - The Requests package before 2.20.0 for Python sends an HTTP Authorization header to an http URI upon     receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover     credentials by sniffing the network. (CVE-2018-18074)

  - urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin     redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the     Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext. (CVE-2018-20060)

  - TSX Asynchronous Abort condition on some CPUs utilizing speculative execution may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel with local access. (CVE-2019-11135)

  - In the urllib3 library through 1.24.1 for Python, CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls the     request parameter. (CVE-2019-11236)

  - The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA     certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections     succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to use of     the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument. (CVE-2019-11324)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-     free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a     certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17666)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, in the Linux upstream kernel versions before 5.5 where,     the way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error     occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by     the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction     mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests, the guests did not use the VERW mechanism     to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that     host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the highest threat associated with this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2019-19338)

  - An issue was discovered in International Components for Unicode (ICU) for C/C++ through 66.1. An integer     overflow, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, exists in the UnicodeString::doAppend() function in     common/unistr.cpp. (CVE-2020-10531)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
