The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6790-1 advisory.

It was discovered that amavisd-new incorrectly handled certain MIME email messages with multiple boundary     parameters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass checks for banned files or malware.

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.
