The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4448-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly validated the payload length in a WebSocket frame. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Tomcat to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2020-13935)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled HTTP header parsing. In certain environments where     Tomcat is located behind a reverse proxy, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTTP     Reqest Smuggling. (CVE-2020-1935)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain uncommon PersistenceManager with FileStore     configurations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-9484)

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.
