The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5487-3 advisory.

USN-5487-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server. Unfortunately it caused regressions.
USN-5487-2 reverted the patches that caused the regression in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM for further investigation.
This update re-adds the security fixes for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and fixes two different regressions: one     affecting mod_proxy only in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and another in mod_sed affecting also Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and     Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy_ajp incorrectly handled

certain crafted request. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to

perform an HTTP Request Smuggling attack. (CVE-2022-26377)

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain

request. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial

of service. (CVE-2022-28614)

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain request.

An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or expose

sensitive information. (CVE-2022-28615)

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain request.

An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

(CVE-2022-29404)

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain

request. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash.

(CVE-2022-30522)

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain request.

An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code or cause

a crash. (CVE-2022-30556)

It was discovered that Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain request.

An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass IP based authentication.

(CVE-2022-31813)

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.
