The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4340-1 advisory.

It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain language values. A local attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive     information. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 19.10.
(CVE-2019-2228)

Stephan Zeisberg discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain malformed ppd files. A local attacker     could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-3898)

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.
