The version of openldap installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.40-16.36. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1741 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.4.48. When using SASL authentication and session     encryption, and relying on the SASL security layers in slapd access controls, it is possible to obtain     access that would otherwise be denied via a simple bind for any identity covered in those ACLs. After the     first SASL bind is completed, the sasl_ssf value is retained for all new non-SASL connections. Depending     on the ACL configuration, this can affect different types of operations (searches, modifications, etc.).
    In other words, a successful authorization step completed by one user affects the authorization     requirement for a different user. (CVE-2019-13565)

  - An integer underflow was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to slapd crashes in the Certificate     Exact Assertion processing, resulting in denial of service (schema_init.c serialNumberAndIssuerCheck).
    (CVE-2020-36221)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to an assertion failure in slapd in the     saslAuthzTo validation, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36222)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to a slapd crash in the Values Return Filter     control handling, resulting in denial of service (double free and out-of-bounds read). (CVE-2020-36223)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to an invalid pointer free and slapd crash in the     saslAuthzTo processing, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36224)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to a double free and slapd crash in the     saslAuthzTo processing, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36225)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to a memch->bv_len miscalculation and slapd crash     in the saslAuthzTo processing, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36226)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to an infinite loop in slapd with the cancel_extop     Cancel operation, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36227)

  - An integer underflow was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to a slapd crash in the Certificate     List Exact Assertion processing, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36228)

  - A flaw was discovered in ldap_X509dn2bv in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading to a slapd crash in the X.509 DN     parsing in ad_keystring, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36229)

  - A flaw was discovered in OpenLDAP before 2.4.57 leading in an assertion failure in slapd in the X.509 DN     parsing in decode.c ber_next_element, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-36230)

  - In OpenLDAP through 2.4.57 and 2.5.x through 2.5.1alpha, an assertion failure in slapd can occur in the     issuerAndThisUpdateCheck function via a crafted packet, resulting in a denial of service (daemon exit) via     a short timestamp. This is related to schema_init.c and checkTime. (CVE-2021-27212)

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