The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5068-1 advisory.

It was discovered that GD Graphics Library incorrectly handled certain GD

and GD2 files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or expose sensitive information.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
(CVE-2017-6363)

It was discovered that GD Graphics Library incorrectly handled certain TGA files. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-381)

It was discovered that GD Graphics Library incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a crash. (CVE-2021-40145)

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.
