"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-4737-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled GSSAPI security policy negotiation. A remote attacker
    could use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
    arbitrary code. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the Bind AppArmor profile.

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
