In my opinion, most vendors who produce a VA tool classify the severity
levels themself.
There is sometimes even a difference in these values for actually the
same flaw

Nessus uses the "standard" CVSS base for vulnerability scoring see
http://www.first.org/cvss/
for more info.

where CVSS base = severity level:
0-3 = low
4-6 = medium
7-9 = high
10 = critical
