The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6714-1 advisory.
It was discovered that debmany in Debian Goodies incorrectly handled certain deb files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary shell commands.
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.
