The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5279-1 advisory.

It was discovered that util-linux incorrectly handled unmounting FUSE filesystems. A local attacker could     possibly use this issue to unmount FUSE filesystems belonging to other users.

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.
