The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4775-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Lighttpd did not properly sanitized the string used in basic HTTP authentication     method. A remote attacker could use this to inject arbitrary log entries and maybe obtain sensitive     information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2015-3200)

It was discovered that Lighttpd did not properly sanitized the string used in alias. A remote attacker     could use this to access the content of the directory above the alias and obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2018-19052)

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.
