The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6944-2 advisory.

USN-6944-1 fixed CVE-2024-7264 for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. This update     provides the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Dov Murik discovered that curl incorrectly handled parsing ASN.1 Generalized Time fields. A remote     attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain     sensitive memory contents.

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.
