The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6885-3 advisory.

USN-6885-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Apache. This update provides the corresponding update for     Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

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.
