The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6666-1 advisory.

It was discovered that libuv incorrectly truncated certain hostnames. A remote attacker could possibly use     this issue with specially crafted hostnames to bypass certain checks.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
