The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4786-1 advisory.

  • The duration function in the moment package before 2.11.2 for Node.js allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long string, aka a regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). (CVE-2016-4055)

  • The moment module before 2.19.3 for Node.js is prone to a regular expression denial of service via a crafted date string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-4055. (CVE-2017-18214)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
