The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6144-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibreOffice did not properly validate the number of parameters passed to the     formula interpreter, leading to an array index underflow attack. If a user were tricked into opening a     specially crafted spreadsheet file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2023-0950)

    Amel Bouziane-Leblond discovered that LibreOffice did not prompt the user before loading the host document     inside an IFrame. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, an attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause information disclosure or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-2255)

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.
