The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4404-1 advisory.

    Thomas E. Carroll discovered that the NVIDIA Cuda grpahics driver did not properly perform access control     when performing IPC. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2020-5963)

    It was discovered that the UVM driver in the NVIDIA graphics driver contained a race condition. A local     attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-5967)

    It was discovered that the NVIDIA virtual GPU guest drivers contained an unspecified vulnerability that     could potentially lead to privileged operation execution. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of     service. (CVE-2020-5973)

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.
