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-6843-1 advisory.

Fabian Vogt discovered that Plasma Workspace incorrectly handled connections via ICE. A local attacker     could possibly use this issue to gain access to another user's session manager and 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.
