The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5454-1 advisory.
Joshua Mason discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled the secret key used to access the administrative web interface. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to open a session as an administrator and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-26691)
It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain memory operations when handling IPP printing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, leading to a denial of service, or obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
(CVE-2019-8842, CVE-2020-10001)
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.
