"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the USN-4355-1 advisory.

    PulseAudio in Ubuntu contains additional functionality to mediate audio recording for snap packages and it
    was discovered that this functionality did not mediate PulseAudio module unloading. An attacker-controlled
    snap with only the audio-playback interface connected could exploit this to bypass access controls and
    record audio.

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.");
