The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3728-1 advisory.

Hanno Bck discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain CHM files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-14679, CVE-2018-14680)

Jakub Wilk discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain KWAJ files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-14681)

Dmitry Glavatskikh discovered that libmspack incorrectly certain CHM files. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-14682)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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