The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5626-2 advisory.
By flooding the target resolver with queries exploiting this flaw an attacker can significantly impair the resolver’s performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.
(CVE-2022-2795)
By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. (CVE-2022-38177)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
