The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5029-1 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in gnutls. A use after free issue in client sending key_share extension may lead to memory corruption and other consequences. (CVE-2021-20231)

  • A flaw was found in gnutls. A use after free issue in client_send_params in lib/ext/pre_shared_key.c may lead to memory corruption and other potential consequences. (CVE-2021-20232)

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