The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5536-1 advisory.

  - When loading a script with Subresource Integrity, attackers with an injection capability could trigger the     reuse of previously cached entries with incorrect, different integrity metadata.  (CVE-2022-36315)

  - When using the Performance API, an attacker was able to notice subtle differences between     PerformanceEntries and thus learn whether the target URL had been subject to a redirect.  (CVE-2022-36316)

  - When visiting directory listings for `chrome://` URLs as source text, some parameters were reflected.
    (CVE-2022-36318)

  - When combining CSS properties for overflow and transform, the mouse cursor could interact with different     coordinates than displayed.  (CVE-2022-36319)

  - Mozilla developers and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 102. Some     of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these     could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.  (CVE-2022-36320)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
