The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5265 advisory.

  - When using Apache Tomcat versions 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M4, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.34, 8.5.0 to 8.5.54 and 7.0.0 to     7.0.103 if a) an attacker is able to control the contents and name of a file on the server; and b) the     server is configured to use the PersistenceManager with a FileStore; and c) the PersistenceManager is     configured with sessionAttributeValueClassNameFilter=null (the default unless a SecurityManager is used)     or a sufficiently lax filter to allow the attacker provided object to be deserialized; and d) the attacker     knows the relative file path from the storage location used by FileStore to the file the attacker has     control over; then, using a specifically crafted request, the attacker will be able to trigger remote code     execution via deserialization of the file under their control. Note that all of conditions a) to d) must     be true for the attack to succeed. (CVE-2020-9484)

  - The simplified implementation of blocking reads and writes introduced in Tomcat 10 and back-ported to     Tomcat 9.0.47 onwards exposed a long standing (but extremely hard to trigger) concurrency bug in Apache     Tomcat 10.1.0 to 10.1.0-M12, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.18, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.60 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.77 that could cause     client connections to share an Http11Processor instance resulting in responses, or part responses, to be     received by the wrong client. (CVE-2021-43980)

  - The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability into Apache Tomcat     10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M8, 10.0.0-M5 to 10.0.14, 9.0.35 to 9.0.56 and 8.5.55 to 8.5.73 that allowed a local     attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue     is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore. (CVE-2022-23181)

  - The documentation of Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.20, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62 and     8.5.38 to 8.5.78 for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an     untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and     integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted     network, particularly DoS risks. (CVE-2022-29885)

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