The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5499-1 advisory.

  • When curl < 7.84.0 does FTP transfers secured by krb5, it handles message verification failures wrongly.
    This flaw makes it possible for a Man-In-The-Middle attack to go unnoticed and even allows it to inject data to the client. (CVE-2022-32208)

  • libcurl provides the CURLOPT_CERTINFO option to allow applications torequest details to be returned about a server’s certificate chain.Due to an erroneous function, a malicious server could make libcurl built withNSS get stuck in a never-ending busy-loop when trying to retrieve thatinformation.
    (CVE-2022-27781)

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