The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6481-1 advisory.

It was discovered that FRR incorrectly handled certain malformed NLRI data. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause FRR to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-46752)

It was discovered that FRR incorrectly handled certain BGP UPDATE messages. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause FRR to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-46753)

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

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