The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4929-1 advisory.

    Greg Kuechle discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain incremental zone updates. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-25214)

    Siva Kakarla discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain DNAME records. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-25215)

    It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled GSSAPI security policy negotiation. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-25216)

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