The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3809-1 advisory.

Robert Swiecki discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled certain messages. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04     LTS. (CVE-2016-10708)

It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled certain requests. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-15473)

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.
