The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2023:3559 advisory.

  - c-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. c-ares is vulnerable to denial of service. If a target     resolver sends a query, the attacker forges a malformed UDP packet with a length of 0 and returns them to     the target resolver. The target resolver erroneously interprets the 0 length as a graceful shutdown of the     connection. This issue has been patched in version 1.19.1. (CVE-2023-32067)

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