The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6506-1 advisory.
David Shoon discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_macro module incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-31122)
Prof. Sven Dietrich, Isa Jafarov, Prof. Heejo Lee, and Choongin Lee discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain HTTP/2 connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04, and Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-43622)
Will Dormann and David Warren discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled memory when handling HTTP/2 connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-45802)
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.
