The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6633-1 advisory.

Shoham Danino, Anat Bremler-Barr, Yehuda Afek, and Yuval Shavitt discovered that Bind incorrectly handled     parsing large DNS messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume     resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-4408)

Elias Heftrig, Haya Schulmann, Niklas Vogel, and Michael Waidner discovered that Bind icorrectly handled     validating DNSSEC messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume     resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-50387)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled preparing an NSEC3 closest encloser proof. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-50868)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled reverse zone queries when nxdomain-redirect is enabled. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-5517)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled recursive resolution when both DNS64 and serve-stable were     enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, leading to a denial of     service. (CVE-2023-5679)

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.
