The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4113-1 advisory.

Stefan Eissing discovered that the HTTP/2 implementation in Apache did not properly handle upgrade     requests from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2 in some situations. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (daemon crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.04. (CVE-2019-0197)

Craig Young discovered that a memory overwrite error existed in Apache when performing HTTP/2 very early     pushes in some situations. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (daemon crash).
This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.04. (CVE-2019-10081)

Craig Young discovered that a read-after-free error existed in the HTTP/2 implementation in Apache during     connection shutdown. A remote attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service (daemon crash)     or possibly expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.04.
(CVE-2019-10082)

Matei Badanoiu discovered that the mod_proxy component of Apache did not properly filter URLs when     reporting errors in some configurations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to conduct cross-     site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2019-10092)

Daniel McCarney discovered that mod_remoteip component of Apache contained a stack buffer overflow when     parsing headers from a trusted intermediary proxy in some situations. A remote attacker controlling a     trusted proxy could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue     only affected Ubuntu 19.04. (CVE-2019-10097)

Yukitsugu Sasaki discovered that the mod_rewrite component in Apache was vulnerable to open redirects in     some situations. A remote attacker could use this to possibly expose sensitive information or bypass     intended restrictions. (CVE-2019-10098)

Jonathan Looney discovered that the HTTP/2 implementation in Apache did not properly limit the amount of     buffering for client connections in some situations. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service (unresponsive daemon). This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 19.04. (CVE-2019-9517)

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.
