The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5357-1 advisory.

  • A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in IPsec ESP transformation code in net/ipv4/esp4.c and net/ipv6/esp6.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with a normal user privilege to overwrite kernel heap objects and may cause a local privilege escalation threat. (CVE-2022-27666)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
