The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5507-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory access. An attacker could potentially use this issue     to cause the program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1968)

It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory access. An attacker could potentially use this issue     to cause the corruption of sensitive information, a crash, or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-1897,     CVE-2022-1942)

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.
