The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6998-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Unbound incorrectly handled string comparisons, which could lead to a NULL pointer     dereference. An attacker could

potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-43167)

It was discovered that Unbound incorrectly handled memory in

cfg_mark_ports, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. A local

attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2024-43168)

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.
