  - An issue was discovered in mgetty before 1.2.1. In fax_notify_mail() in faxrec.c, the mail_to parameter is     not sanitized. It could allow for command injection if untrusted input can reach it, because popen is     used. (CVE-2018-16744)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
