"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the USN-5324-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libxml2 incorrectly handled certain XML files. An attacker could use this issue to
    cause libxml2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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