The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5588 advisory.

  - PuTTY through 0.75 proceeds with establishing an SSH session even if it has never sent a substantive     authentication response. This makes it easier for an attacker-controlled SSH server to present a later     spoofed authentication prompt (that the attacker can use to capture credential data, and use that data for     purposes that are undesired by the client user). (CVE-2021-36367)

  - The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other     products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the     extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for     which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because     the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and     mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of     ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and     (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms.

(CVE-2023-48795)

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