The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6991-1 advisory.
It was discovered that AIOHTTP did not properly restrict file access when the 'follow_symlinks' option was set to True. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to access unauthorized files on the system.
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.
