The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5390-1 advisory.

David Bouman discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate passed     user register indices. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1015)

David Bouman discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not initialize memory in some     situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2022-1016)

It was discovered that the ST21NFCA NFC driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the size of     certain data in EVT_TRANSACTION events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial     of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-26490)

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.
