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-6513-2 advisory.

USN-6513-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Python. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu     20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled certain plist files.

If a user or an automated system were tricked into processing a specially

crafted plist file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to consume

resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-48564)

It was discovered that Python instances of ssl.SSLSocket were vulnerable

to a bypass of the TLS handshake. An attacker could possibly use this

issue to cause applications to treat unauthenticated received data before

TLS handshake as authenticated data after TLS handshake. (CVE-2023-40217)

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 number.
