The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4045-1 advisory.

    A type confusion bug was discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could exploit this by causing a denial of service, or     executing arbirary code. (CVE-2019-11707)

    It was discovered that a sandboxed child process could open arbitrary web content in the parent process     via the Prompt:Open IPC message. When combined with another vulnerability, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11708)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
