The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5051-3 advisory.
USN-5051-1 fixed a vulnerability in OpenSSL. This update provides the corresponding update for the openssl1.0 package in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
Ingo Schwarze discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain ASN.1
strings. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2021-3712)
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.
