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-4761-1 advisory.

Matheus Tavares discovered that Git incorrectly handled delay-capable clean/smudge filters when being used     on case-insensitive filesystems. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary     code.

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.
