The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 21.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5119-1 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in libcaca. A heap buffer overflow in export.c in function export_tga might lead to memory corruption and other potential consequences. (CVE-2021-30498)

  • A flaw was found in libcaca. A buffer overflow of export.c in function export_troff might lead to memory corruption and other potential consequences. (CVE-2021-30499)

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