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-5614-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Wayland incorrectly handled reference counting certain objects. An attacker could     use this issue to cause Wayland 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.
