    Marek Szlagor, Gregory Jefferis and Jeroen Ooms discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain
    credentials. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. This issue only
    affected Ubuntu 19.10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-8169)

    It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain parameters. An attacker could possibly use this
    issue to overwrite a local file. (CVE-2020-8177)

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
