The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6733-1 advisory.

It was discovered that GnuTLS had a timing side-channel when performing certain ECDSA operations. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to recover sensitive information. (CVE-2024-28834)

It was discovered that GnuTLS incorrectly handled verifying certain PEM bundles. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause GnuTLS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only     affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2024-28835)

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.
