The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4328-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Message ID calculation was based on uninitialized data. An attacker could     potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-6792)

    Mutiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted message, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain     sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6793, CVE-2020-6795, CVE-2020-6822)

    It was discovered that if a user saved passwords before Thunderbird 60 and then later set a master     password, an unencrypted copy of these passwords would still be accessible. A local user could exploit     this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2020-6794)

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of     service, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2019-20503, CVE-2020-6798, CVE-2020-6800, CVE-2020-6805, CVE-2020-6806, CVE-2020-6807,     CVE-2020-6812, CVE-2020-6814, CVE-2020-6819, CVE-2020-6820, CVE-2020-6821, CVE-2020-6825)

    It was discovered that the Devtools Copy as cURL feature did not fully escape website-controlled     data. If a user were tricked in to using the Copy as cURL feature to copy and paste a command with     specially crafted data in to a terminal, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary     commands via command injection. (CVE-2020-6811)
