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-6851-1 advisory.

Andreas Hasenack discovered that netplan incorrectly handled the permissions for netdev files containing     wireguard configuration. An attacker could use this to obtain wireguard secret keys.

It was discovered that netplan configuration could be manipulated into injecting arbitrary commands while     setting up network interfaces. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary commands or escalate     privileges.

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.
