The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4516-1 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in the way certificate signatures could be forged using collisions found in the SHA-1 algorithm. An attacker could use this weakness to create forged certificate signatures. This issue affects GnuPG versions before 2.2.18. (CVE-2019-14855)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
