The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6555-1 advisory.
Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled XKB button actions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges. (CVE-2023-6377)
Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled memory when processing the RRChangeOutputProperty and RRChangeProviderProperty APIs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the X Server to crash, or obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6478)
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.
