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-6830-1 advisory.

It was discovered that libndp incorrectly handled certain malformed IPv6 router advertisement packets. A     local attacker could use this issue to cause NetworkManager to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code.

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.
