The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5332-2 advisory.

USN-5332-1 fixed a vulnerability in Bind. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04     ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

Xiang Li, Baojun Liu, Chaoyi Lu, and Changgen Zou discovered that Bind

incorrectly handled certain bogus NS records when using forwarders. A

remote attacker could possibly use this issue to manipulate cache results.

(CVE-2021-25220)

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.
