The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5952-1 advisory.

  - OpenJPEG through 2.3.1 has a heap-based buffer overflow in opj_t1_clbl_decode_processor in openjp2/t1.c     because of lack of opj_j2k_update_image_dimensions validation. (CVE-2020-6851)

  - opj_t1_clbl_decode_processor in openjp2/t1.c in OpenJPEG 2.3.1 through 2020-01-28 has a heap-based buffer     overflow in the qmfbid==1 case, a different issue than CVE-2020-6851. (CVE-2020-8112)

  - jp2/opj_decompress.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.1 has a use-after-free that can be triggered if there is a     mix of valid and invalid files in a directory operated on by the decompressor. Triggering a double-free     may also be possible. This is related to calling opj_image_destroy twice. (CVE-2020-15389)

  - A heap-buffer overflow was found in the way openjpeg2 handled certain PNG format files. An attacker could     use this flaw to cause an application crash or in some cases execute arbitrary code with the permission of     the user running such an application. (CVE-2020-27814)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG's encoder. This flaw allows an attacker to pass specially crafted x,y offset     input to OpenJPEG to use during encoding. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27823)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG's encoder in the opj_dwt_calc_explicit_stepsizes() function. This flaw allows     an attacker who can supply crafted input to decomposition levels to cause a buffer overflow. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-27824)

  - There's a flaw in openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0 in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c. When an attacker is able to     provide crafted input to be processed by the openjpeg encoder, this could cause an out-of-bounds read. The     greatest impact from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27841)

  - There's a flaw in openjpeg's t2 encoder in versions prior to 2.4.0. An attacker who is able to provide     crafted input to be processed by openjpeg could cause a null pointer dereference. The highest impact of     this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27842)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG in versions prior to 2.4.0. This flaw allows an attacker to provide specially     crafted input to the conversion or encoding functionality, causing an out-of-bounds read. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2020-27843)

  - There's a flaw in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c of openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0. If an attacker is able to     provide untrusted input to openjpeg's conversion/encoding functionality, they could cause an out-of-bounds     read. The highest impact of this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27845)

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