The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6768-1 advisory.
Alicia Boya Garca discovered that GLib incorrectly handled signal subscriptions. A local attacker could use this issue to spoof D-Bus signals resulting in a variety of impacts including possible privilege escalation.
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.
