The version of qemu installed on the remote host is prior to 3.1.0-8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1671 advisory.

  - iscsi_aio_ioctl_cb in block/iscsi.c in QEMU 4.1.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read that may disclose     unrelated information from process memory to an attacker. (CVE-2020-11947)

  - ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2020-28916     (CVE-2020-25707)

  - A reachable assertion issue was found in the USB EHCI emulation code of QEMU. It could occur while     processing USB requests due to missing handling of DMA memory map failure. A malicious privileged user     within the guest may abuse this flaw to send bogus USB requests and crash the QEMU process on the host,     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-25723)

  - A flaw was found in the memory management API of QEMU during the initialization of a memory region cache.
    This issue could lead to an out-of-bounds write access to the MSI-X table while performing MMIO     operations. A guest user may abuse this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial     of service. This flaw affects QEMU versions prior to 5.2.0. (CVE-2020-27821)

  - ncsi.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of     header data even if that exceeds the total packet length. (CVE-2020-29129)

  - slirp.c in libslirp through 4.3.1 has a buffer over-read because it tries to read a certain amount of     header data even if that exceeds the total packet length. (CVE-2020-29130)

  - ide_atapi_cmd_reply_end in hw/ide/atapi.c in QEMU 5.1.0 allows out-of-bounds read access because a buffer     index is not validated. (CVE-2020-29443)

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