The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4771-1 advisory.

It was discovered that HTCondor incorrectly invoked the mailx utility. An attacker could use this     vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2014-8126)

It was discovered that HTCondor mishandled certain crafted input. An attacker could use this vulnerability     to cause HTCondor to crash. (CVE-2017-16816)

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.
