"The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by
multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8682-1 advisory.

    Vitaly Simonovich discovered that Bind could exhaust memory during GSS-API TKEY negotiation. A remote
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of
    service. (CVE-2026-3039)

    Shuhan Zhang discovered that Bind incorrectly handled self-pointed glue records. A remote attacker could
    possibly use this issue to use Bind in denial of service amplification attacks against other systems. This
    issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-3592)

    It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled DNS messages whose class was not IN. A remote attacker
    could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
    affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-5946)

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
