It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-632 advisory.

    A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

    An attacker may cause an HTTP/2 endpoint to read arbitrary amounts of header data by sending an excessive     number of CONTINUATION frames. Maintaining HPACK state requires parsing and processing all HEADERS and     CONTINUATION frames on a connection. When a request's headers exceed MaxHeaderBytes, no memory is     allocated to store the excess headers, but they are still parsed. This permits an attacker to cause an     HTTP/2 endpoint to read arbitrary amounts of header data, all associated with a request which is going to     be rejected. These headers can include Huffman-encoded data which is significantly more expensive for the     receiver to decode than for an attacker to send. The fix sets a limit on the amount of excess header     frames we will process before closing a connection. (CVE-2023-45288)

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