The remote host is missing an update for the 'pyjwt' package(s) announced via the USN-5526-2 advisory. PyJWT incorrectly handled signatures constructed from SSH public keys, posing a security risk that could allow a remote attacker to forge a JWT signature. The update is necessary to fix the problem on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
