The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6746-2 advisory.
USN-6746-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Google Guest Agent and Google OS Config Agent. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that Google Guest Agent and Google OS Config Agent incorrectly
handled certain JSON files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause a denial of service.
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 application’s self-reported version number.
