The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6584-2 advisory.

USN-6584-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This update provides     the corresponding updates for CVE-2021-33912 and CVE-2021-33913 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Philipp Jeitner and Haya Shulman discovered that Libspf2 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 or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-20314)

It was discovered that Libspf2 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 or

execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-33912, CVE-2021-33913)

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.
