The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 20.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4937-1 advisory.

  • autoar-extractor.c in GNOME gnome-autoar before 0.3.1, as used by GNOME Shell, Nautilus, and other software, allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file’s parent is a symlink in certain complex situations. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-36241. (CVE-2021-28650)

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