The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7472-1 advisory.

    Junwha Hong and Wonil Jang discovered that Micropython incorrectly handled the length of a buffer in     mp_vfs_umount, leading to a heap-based buffer

    overflow vulnerability. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file,     an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
