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-5528-1 advisory.

It was discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were     tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash, or     possibly execute arbitrary code.

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.
