The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6764-1 advisory.
It was discovered that libde265 could be made to allocate memory that exceeds the maximum supported size.
If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, 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.
