The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7803-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that poppler incorrectly handled certain PDF files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause poppler     to crash, leading to a denial of service.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Poppler 24.06.1 through 25.x before 25.04.0 allows stack consumption and a SIGSEGV via deeply nested     structures within the metadata (such as GTS_PDFEVersion) of a PDF document, e.g., a regular expression for     a long pdfsubver string. This occurs in Dict::lookup, Catalog::getMetadata, and associated functions in     PDFDoc, with deep recursion in the regex executor (std::__detail::_Executor). (CVE-2025-43718)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
