The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:0332 advisory.

  - The Samba vfs_fruit module uses extended file attributes (EA, xattr) to provide ...enhanced compatibility     with Apple SMB clients and interoperability with a Netatalk 3 AFP fileserver. Samba versions prior to     4.13.17, 4.14.12 and 4.15.5 with vfs_fruit configured allow out-of-bounds heap read and write via     specially crafted extended file attributes. A remote attacker with write access to extended file     attributes can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of smbd, typically root. (CVE-2021-44142)

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