The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5538-1 advisory.

  • In libtirpc before 1.3.3rc1, remote attackers could exhaust the file descriptors of a process that uses libtirpc because idle TCP connections are mishandled. This can, in turn, lead to an svc_run infinite loop without accepting new connections. (CVE-2021-46828)

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