The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4965-1 advisory.

Maik Mnch discovered that Apport incorrectly handled certain information gathering operations. A local     attacker could use these issues to read and write arbitrary files as an administrator, and possibly     escalate privileges.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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