The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4662-1 advisory.

    David Benjamin discovered that OpenSSL incorrectly handled comparing certificates containing a     EDIPartyName name type. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSSL to crash,     resulting in a denial of service.

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

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