The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5836-1 advisory.

A null pointer dereference issue was discovered in function gui_x11_create_blank_mouse in gui_x11.c in vim 8.1.2269 thru 9.0.0339 allows attackers to cause denial of service or other unspecified impacts.
(CVE-2022-47024)
Out-of-bounds Read in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1143. (CVE-2023-0049)
Out-of-bounds Write in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1145. (CVE-2023-0054)
Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1189. (CVE-2023-0288)
Heap-based Buffer Overflow in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1225. (CVE-2023-0433)

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