The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5258-1 advisory.
logger.c in the logger plugin in WeeChat before 1.9.1 allows a crash via strftime date/time specifiers, because a buffer is not initialized. (CVE-2017-14727)
irc_mode_channel_update in plugins/irc/irc-mode.c in WeeChat through 2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed IRC message 324 (channel mode). (CVE-2020-8955)
A Vulnerability of LG Electronic web OS TV Emulator could allow an attacker to escalate privileges and overwrite certain files. This vulnerability is due to wrong environment setting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability through crafted configuration files and executable files. (CVE-2020-9759)
An issue was discovered in WeeChat before 2.7.1 (0.3.4 to 2.7 are affected). When a new IRC message 005 is received with longer nick prefixes, a buffer overflow and possibly a crash can happen when a new mode is set for a nick. (CVE-2020-9760)
WeeChat before 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted WebSocket frame that trigger an out-of-bounds read in plugins/relay/relay-websocket.c in the Relay plugin.
(CVE-2021-40516)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
