The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6958-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly accessing data structures when reading bytes from memory,     which could cause a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-7960)

It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly handling invalid UTF-8 values when processing CSS files.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-8834, CVE-2017-8871)

It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly implementing recursion in one of its parsing functions,     which could cause an infinite recursion loop and a stack overflow due to stack consumption. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-12825)

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.
