The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6941-1 advisory.

It was discovered that the Python ipaddress module contained incorrect information about which IP address     ranges were considered private or globally reachable. This could possibly result in     applications applying incorrect security policies.

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.
