The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6099-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ncurses was incorrectly performing bounds checks when processing invalid hashcodes.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-17594)

    It was discovered that ncurses was incorrectly handling end-of-string characters when processing terminfo     and termcap files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose     sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-17595)

    It was discovered that ncurses was incorrectly handling end-of-string characters when converting between     termcap and terminfo formats. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or     execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-39537)

    It was discovered that ncurses was incorrectly performing bounds checks when dealing with corrupt terminfo     data while reading a terminfo file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service     or to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu     22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-29458)

    It was discovered that ncurses was parsing environment variables when running with setuid applications and     not properly handling the processing of malformed data when doing so. A local attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-29491)
