The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5698-2 advisory.

  • In ovs versions v0.90.0 through v2.5.0 are vulnerable to heap buffer over-read in flow.c. An unsafe comparison of minimasks function could lead access to an unmapped region of memory. This vulnerability is capable of crashing the software, memory modification, and possible remote execution. (CVE-2022-32166)

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