The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. A bug in the standard library ScalarMult implementation of curve P-256 for amd64 architectures in Go before 1.7.6 and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 causes incorrect results to be generated for specific input points. An adaptive attack can be mounted to progressively extract the scalar input to ScalarMult by submitting crafted points and observing failures to the derive correct output. This leads to a full key recovery attack against static ECDH, as used in popular JWT libraries. (CVE-2017-8932) Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
