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-4358-1 advisory.
It was discovered that libexif incorrectly handled certain tags. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-20030)
It was discovered that libexif incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash. (CVE-2020-12767)
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.
