The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5371-2 advisory.
USN-5371-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in nginx. This update provides the fix for CVE-2021-3618 for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that nginx Lua module mishandled certain inputs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform an HTTP Request
Smuggling attack. This issue was fixed for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-11724)
It was discovered that nginx Lua module mishandled certain inputs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to disclose sensitive
information. This issue only affects Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-36309)
It was discovered that nginx mishandled the use of
compatible certificates among multiple encryption protocols.
If a remote attacker were able to intercept the communication,
this issue could be used to redirect traffic between subdomains.
(CVE-2021-3618)
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.
