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-4640-1 advisory.

James Henstridge discovered that an Ubuntu-specific patch caused PulseAudio to incorrectly handle snap     client connections. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.

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.
