The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5013-2 advisory.

USN-5013-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in systemd. This update provides the corresponding update for     Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that systemd incorrectly handled certain mount paths. A

local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause systemd to crash,

resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-33910)

Mitchell Frank discovered that systemd incorrectly handled DHCP FORCERENEW

packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to reconfigure

servers. (CVE-2020-13529)

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 applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
