"The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
USN-4762-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the OpenSSH ssh-agent incorrectly handled memory. A remote attacker able to connect
    to the agent could use this issue to cause it to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
    execute arbitrary code.

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.");
