The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5392-1 advisory.
It was discovered that Mutt incorrectly handled certain requests. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-32055)
It was discovered that Mutt incorrectly handled certain input. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-1328)
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.
