"The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has packages installed that
are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8523-1 advisory.

    Eric Su and Samuel Dainard discovered that libsoup incorrectly handled content with zero-length resources.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger a buffer over-read, resulting in information
    disclosure or a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu
    22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 25.10, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-2369)

    Kona Arctic discovered that libsoup did not properly protect sensitive cookies when establishing HTTPS
    tunnels through an HTTP proxy. An attacker could possibly use this issue to intercept session cookies,
    resulting in session hijacking or user impersonation. (CVE-2026-5119)

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
