The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6457-1 advisory.

Tavis Ormandy discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue     to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0778)

Elison Niven discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1292)

Chancen and Daniel Fiala discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an     automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2068)

Alex Chernyakhovsky discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this     issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2097)

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.
