The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4791-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Apache Tomcat 7 did not protect applications from the presence of untrusted client     data in an environment variable. A remote attacker could possible use this vulnerability to redirect the     traffic to an arbitrary proxy and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2016-5388)

It was discovered that Apache Tomcat 7 mishandled specially crafted input. An attacker could use this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-1336)

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.
