The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5527-2 advisory.

USN-5527-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Checkmk. This update provides the

corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Checkmk incorrectly handled authentication. An attacker

could possibly use this issue to cause a race condition leading to information

disclosure. (CVE-2017-14955)

It was discovered that Checkmk incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker

could use these cross-site scripting issues to inject arbitrary html or

javascript code to obtain sensitive information including user information,

session cookies and valid credentials. (CVE-2017-9781, CVE-2021-36563,

CVE-2021-40906, CVE-2022-24565)

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.
