The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4569-1 advisory.

  • WebDAV implementation in Yaws web server versions 1.81 to 2.0.7 is vulnerable to XXE injection.
    (CVE-2020-24379)

  • CGI implementation in Yaws web server versions 1.81 to 2.0.7 is vulnerable to OS command injection.
    (CVE-2020-24916)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
