"The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the USN-6168-1 advisory.

    Gregory James Duck discovered that libx11 incorrectly handled certain Request, Event, or Error IDs. If a
    user were tricked into connecting to a malicious X Server, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue
    to cause libx11 to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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