The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6853-1 advisory.
It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled the ungetbyte and ungetc methods. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Ruby to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information.
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.
