Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7349-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that RAR incorrectly handled certain paths. If a user or automated system were tricked     into extracting a specially crafted RAR archive, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to write     arbitrary files outside of the targeted directory. (CVE-2022-30333)

    It was discovered that RAR incorrectly handled certain recovery volumes. If a user or automated system     were tricked into extracting a specially crafted RAR archive, a remote attacker could possibly use this     issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-40477)
