The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6517-1 advisory.

  • In Perl 5.34.0, function S_find_uninit_var in sv.c has a stack-based crash that can lead to remote code execution or local privilege escalation. (CVE-2022-48522)

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