"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 22.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6037-1 advisory.
- Prior to Apache Commons Net 3.9.0, Net's FTP client trusts the host from PASV response by default. A
malicious server can redirect the Commons Net code to use a different host, but the user has to connect to
the malicious server in the first place. This may lead to leakage of information about services running on
the private network of the client. The default in version 3.9.0 is now false to ignore such hosts, as cURL
does. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-711. (CVE-2021-37533)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
