The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4699-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Apache Log4net incorrectly handled certain configuration files. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information.

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 applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
