The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4516-1 advisory.

It was discovered that GnuPG signatures could be forged when the SHA-1 algorithm is being used. This     update removes validating signatures based on SHA-1 that were generated after 2019-01-19. In environments     where this is still required, a new option --allow-weak-key-signatures can be used to revert this     behaviour.

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.
