The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6208-1 advisory.

  • An integer overflow vulnerability exists with the length of websocket frames received via a websocket connection. An attacker would use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack on an HTTP Server allowing websocket connections. (CVE-2020-27813)

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