I would propose:
*****
This warning was generated because $SOFTWARE on $REMOTE_HOST identified
itself as $VERSION and the authors of $SOFTWARE have declared versions
$FROM through $UNTIL to be affected by this issue.
Please note that this issue might have already been fixed by your
distribution maintainers without increasing the version number reported
by the software. If you are in doubt, please refer to the security
announcements from the maintainers of your distribution.
If you have identified this warning as a false positive, you can create
a filter by doing $(CREATE_FILTER_HOWTO).
*****

What do you think?

Regards,

Michael
