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-4450-1 advisory.
Seong-Joong Kim discovered that Whoopsie incorrectly handled memory. A local attacker could use this issue to cause Whoopsie to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-11937)
Seong-Joong Kim discovered that Whoopsie incorrectly handled parsing files. A local attacker could use this issue to cause Whoopsie to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12135)
Seong-Joong Kim discovered that Whoopsie incorrectly handled memory. A local attacker could use this issue to cause Whoopsie to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-15570)
