The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6956-1 advisory.

    Benedict Schlter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted     hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP.
    This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose     sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment.
    (CVE-2024-25742)
