"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the USN-5446-1 advisory.

    Max Justicz discovered that dpkg incorrectly handled unpacking certain source packages. If a user or an
    automated system were tricked into unpacking a specially crafted source package, a remote attacker could
    modify files outside the target unpack directory, leading to a denial of service or potentially gaining
    access to the system.

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
