The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20220304.423. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20220304.423 advisory.

  - An attacker could construct a PKCS 12 cert bundle in such a way that could allow for arbitrary memory     writes via PKCS 12 Safe Bag attributes being mishandled. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110,     Thunderbird < 102.8, and Firefox ESR < 102.8. (CVE-2023-0767)

  - An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting     methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters. (CVE-2023-24329)

  - There is a type confusion vulnerability relating to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName.
    X.400 addresses were parsed as an ASN1_STRING but the public structure definition for GENERAL_NAME     incorrectly specified the type of the x400Address field as ASN1_TYPE. This field is subsequently     interpreted by the OpenSSL function GENERAL_NAME_cmp as an ASN1_TYPE rather than an ASN1_STRING. When CRL     checking is enabled (i.e. the application sets the X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK flag), this vulnerability may     allow an attacker to pass arbitrary pointers to a memcmp call, enabling them to read memory contents or     enact a denial of service. In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate     chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these     inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is     uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented     their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network. (CVE-2023-0286)

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