The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20230302.102005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20230302.100173 advisory.

  - A crafted NTFS image can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by an unsanitized attribute in     ntfs_get_attribute_value, in NTFS-3G < 2021.8.22. (CVE-2021-39263)

  - EDK2's Network Package is susceptible to a buffer overflow vulnerability when processing DNS Servers     option from a DHCPv6 Advertise message. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to gain     unauthorized access and potentially lead to a loss of Confidentiality, Integrity and/or Availability.
    (CVE-2023-45234)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was found In libssh during re-keying with algorithm guessing. This issue may     allow an authenticated client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1667)

  - A vulnerability was found in libssh, where the authentication check of the connecting client can be     bypassed in the`pki_verify_data_signature` function in memory allocation problems. This issue may happen     if there is insufficient memory or the memory usage is limited. The problem is caused by the return value     `rc,` which is initialized to SSH_ERROR and later rewritten to save the return value of the function call     `pki_key_check_hash_compatible.` The value of the variable is not changed between this point and the     cryptographic verification. Therefore any error between them calls `goto error` returning SSH_OK.
    (CVE-2023-2283)

  - A vulnerability was found that the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange     differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. (CVE-2023-5981)

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