The version of OpenSSL installed on the remote host is prior to 1.1.1y. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 1.1.1y advisory.

  - Issue summary: Some non-default TLS server configurations can cause unbounded memory growth when     processing TLSv1.3 sessions Impact summary: An attacker may exploit certain server configurations to     trigger unbounded memory growth that would lead to a Denial of Service This problem can occur in TLSv1.3     if the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is being used (but not if early_data support is also configured     and the default anti-replay protection is in use). In this case, under certain conditions, the session     cache can get into an incorrect state and it will fail to flush properly as it fills. The session cache     will continue to grow in an unbounded manner. A malicious client could deliberately create the scenario     for this failure to force a Denial of Service. It may also happen by accident in normal operation. This     issue only affects TLS servers supporting TLSv1.3. It does not affect TLS clients. The FIPS modules in     3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.
    (CVE-2024-2511)

  - Issue summary: Calling the OpenSSL API function SSL_free_buffers may cause memory to be accessed that was     previously freed in some situations Impact summary: A use after free can have a range of potential     consequences such as the corruption of valid data, crashes or execution of arbitrary code. However, only     applications that directly call the SSL_free_buffers function are affected by this issue. Applications     that do not call this function are not vulnerable. Our investigations indicate that this function is     rarely used by applications. The SSL_free_buffers function is used to free the internal OpenSSL buffer     used when processing an incoming record from the network. The call is only expected to succeed if the     buffer is not currently in use. However, two scenarios have been identified where the buffer is freed even     when still in use. The first scenario occurs where a record header has been received from the network and     processed by OpenSSL, but the full record body has not yet arrived. In this case calling SSL_free_buffers     will succeed even though a record has only been partially processed and the buffer is still in use. The     second scenario occurs where a full record containing application data has been received and processed by     OpenSSL but the application has only read part of this data. Again a call to SSL_free_buffers will succeed     even though the buffer is still in use. While these scenarios could occur accidentally during normal     operation a malicious attacker could attempt to engineer a stituation where this occurs. We are not aware     of this issue being actively exploited. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this     issue. Found by William Ahern (Akamai). Fix developed by Matt Caswell. Fix developed by Watson Ladd     (Akamai). Fixed in OpenSSL 3.3.1 (Affected since 3.3.0). (CVE-2024-4741)

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