The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4664-1 advisory.

Kevin Backhouse discovered that Aptdaemon incorrectly handled certain properties. A local attacker could     use this issue to test for the presence of local files. (CVE-2020-16128)

Kevin Backhouse discovered that Aptdaemon incorrectly handled permission checks. A local attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-27349)

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 number.
