The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6760-1 advisory.

George-Andrei Iosif and David Fernandez Gonzalez discovered that Gerbv did not properly initialize a data     structure when parsing certain nested RS-274X format files. If a user were tricked into opening a     specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service     (application crash).

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.
