The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5897-1 advisory.

    Juraj Somorovsky, Marcel Maehren, Nurullah Erinola, and Robert Merget discovered that the DTLS     implementation in the JSSE subsystem of OpenJDK did not properly restrict handshake initiation requests     from clients. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-21835)

    Markus Loewe discovered that the Java Sound subsystem in OpenJDK did not properly validate the origin of a     Soundbank. An attacker could use this to specially craft an untrusted Java application or applet that     could load a Soundbank from an attacker controlled remote URL. (CVE-2023-21843)

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.
