The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6921-1 advisory.

Benedict Schlter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted     hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP.
This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose     sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment.
(CVE-2024-25742)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:

- DMA engine subsystem;

- HID subsystem;

- I2C subsystem;

- PHY drivers;

- TTY drivers;

- IPv4 networking; (CVE-2024-35990, CVE-2024-35997, CVE-2024-35992, CVE-2024-35984, CVE-2024-36008,     CVE-2024-36016)

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 applicationโ€™s self-reported version number.
