The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4467-3 advisory.

USN-4467-1 fixed vulnerabilities in QEMU. The fix for CVE-2020-13754 introduced a regression in certain     environments. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Ren Ding, Hanqing Zhao, Alexander Bulekov, and Anatoly Trosinenko

discovered that the QEMU incorrectly handled certain msi-x mmio operations.

An attacker inside a guest could possibly use this issue to cause QEMU to

crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-13754)

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.
