The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6741-1 advisory.

    Daniele Antonioli discovered that the Secure Simple Pairing and Secure Connections pairing in the     Bluetooth protocol could allow an unauthenticated user to complete authentication without pairing     credentials. A physically proximate attacker placed between two Bluetooth devices could use this to     subsequently impersonate one of the paired devices. (CVE-2023-24023)

    Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:

    - JFS file system;

    - BPF subsystem;

    - Netfilter; (CVE-2023-52603, CVE-2023-52600, CVE-2024-26581, CVE-2024-26589)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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