The remote Ubuntu 20.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4914-1 advisory.

NetworkManager could be made to crash if it received specially crafted input.

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.
