The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6560-2 advisory.

USN-6560-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in OpenSSH. This update provides the corresponding update for     Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Fabian Bumer, Marcus Brinkmann, Jrg Schwenk discovered that the SSH

protocol was vulnerable to a prefix truncation attack. If a remote attacker

was able to intercept SSH communications, extension negotiation messages

could be truncated, possibly leading to certain algorithms and features

being downgraded. This issue is known as the Terrapin attack. This update

adds protocol extensions to mitigate this issue. (CVE-2023-48795)

It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled user names or host names

with shell metacharacters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to

perform OS command injection. This only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-51385)

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.
