The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6988-1 advisory.
It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled response order when processing multiple HTTP requests.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to delay and manipulate responses.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-41671)
It was discovered that Twisted did not properly sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this vulnerability to possibly execute an HTML
injection leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
(CVE-2024-41810)
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.
