The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4566-1 advisory.

It was dicovered that Cyrus IMAP Server could execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP PUT operation for     an event with a long iCalendar property name. An attacker could use this vulnerability to cause a crash or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11356)

It was discovered that the Cyrus IMAP Server allow users to create any mailbox with administrative     privileges. A local attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2019-19783)

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.
