"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has 389-ds-base packages installed that are
affected by a vulnerability:

  - A flaw was found in the 'deref' plugin of 389-ds-base
    where it could use the 'search' permission to display
    attribute values. In some configurations, this could
    allow an authenticated attacker to view private
    attributes, such as password hashes. (CVE-2019-14824)

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