The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7018-1 advisory.

Robert Merget, Marcus Brinkmann, Nimrod Aviram, and Juraj Somorovsky discovered that certain Diffie-     Hellman ciphersuites in the TLS specification and implemented by OpenSSL contained a flaw. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to eavesdrop on encrypted communications. This was fixed in this     update by removing the insecure ciphersuites from OpenSSL. (CVE-2020-1968)

Paul Kehrer discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain input lengths in EVP functions. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2021-23840)

Elison Niven discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled the c_rehash script. A local attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands when c_rehash is run. (CVE-2022-1292)

Chancen and Daniel Fiala discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled the c_rehash script. A local attacker     could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands when c_rehash is run. (CVE-2022-2068)

It was discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled excessively large Diffie-Hellman parameters. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3446)

Bahaa Naamneh discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled certain malformed PKCS12 files. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0727)

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.
