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-3860-1 advisory.

It was discovered that libcaca incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-20544)

It was discovered that libcaca incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-20545, CVE-2018-20548, CVE-2018-20459)

It was discovered that libcaca incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-20546, CVE-2018-20547)

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.
