by a vulnerability:

  - The cupshelpers scripts in system-config-printer in Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, as used by the automatic
    printer driver download service, uses an insecure connection for queries to the OpenPrinting database,
    which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack that
    modifies packages or repositories. (CVE-2011-4405)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
