The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3624 advisory.

  - Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in Apache ZooKeeper. If SASL Quorum Peer     authentication is enabled in ZooKeeper (quorum.auth.enableSasl=true), the authorization is done by     verifying that the instance part in SASL authentication ID is listed in zoo.cfg server list. The instance     part in SASL auth ID is optional and if it's missing, like 'eve@EXAMPLE.COM', the authorization check will     be skipped. As a result an arbitrary endpoint could join the cluster and begin propagating counterfeit     changes to the leader, essentially giving it complete read-write access to the data tree. Quorum Peer     authentication is not enabled by default. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.1, 3.8.3, 3.7.2,     which fixes the issue. Alternately ensure the ensemble election/quorum communication is protected by a     firewall as this will mitigate the issue. See the documentation for more details on correct cluster     administration. (CVE-2023-44981)

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