According to the version of the stunnel package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - A flaw was found in stunnel before 5.57, where it     improperly validates client certificates when it is     configured to use both redirect and verifyChain     options. This flaw allows an attacker with a     certificate signed by a Certificate Authority, which is     not the one accepted by the stunnel server, to access     the tunneled service instead of being redirected to the     address specified in the redirect option. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality.(CVE-2021-20230)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
