"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the USN-3806-1 advisory.

    Felix Wilhelm discovered that the systemd-networkd DHCPv6 client incorrectly handled certain DHCPv6
    messages. In configurations where systemd-networkd is being used, an attacker on the same network could
    use this issue to cause systemd-networkd to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
    arbitrary code.

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.");
