The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5017-1 advisory.

It was discovered that the virtual file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained an unsigned to     signed integer conversion error. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system     crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33909)

It was discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform access     control. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2020-26558, CVE-2021-0129)

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.
