The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3842-1 advisory.

Jann Horn discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled session cookie randomness. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to perform cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

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

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