The remote Ubuntu 26.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8488-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit     during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
