The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6996-1 advisory.

Several security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were     tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to     web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary     code execution.

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.
