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)

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.
