"The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-4651-1 advisory.

    Tom Reynolds discovered that due to a packaging error, the MySQL X Plugin was listening to all network
    interfaces by default, contrary to expectations.

    This update changes the default MySQL configuration to bind the MySQL X Plugin to localhost only. This
    change may impact environments where the MySQL X Plugin needs to be accessible from the network. The
    mysqlx-bind-address setting in the /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf file can be modified to allow
    network access.

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.");
