The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5659-1 advisory.
The Graphics Protocol feature in graphics.c in kitty before 0.19.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because a filename containing special characters can be included in an error message.
(CVE-2020-35605)
In Kitty before 0.26.2, insufficient validation in the desktop notification escape sequence can lead to arbitrary code execution. The user must display attacker-controlled content in the terminal, then click on a notification popup. (CVE-2022-41322)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
