"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-6909-2 advisory.

    USN-6909-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Bind. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu
    18.04 LTS.

    Original advisory details:

    Toshifumi Sakaguchi discovered that Bind incorrectly handled having a very

    large number of RRs existing at the same time. A remote attacker could

    possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading to a

    denial of service. (CVE-2024-1737)

    It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled a large number of SIG(0)

    signed requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause

    Bind to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-1975)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
