The remote Ubuntu 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6522-2 advisory.

  - FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients. Affected versions of FreeRDP are missing     input length validation in `drive` channel. A malicious server can trick a FreeRDP based client to read     out of bound data and send it back to the server. This issue has been addressed in version 2.9.0 and all     users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should not use the drive redirection channel -     command line options `/drive`, `+drives` or `+home-drive`. (CVE-2022-41877)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    Affected versions are subject to an invalid offset validation leading to Out Of Bound Write. This can be     triggered when the values `rect->left` and `rect->top` are exactly equal to `surface->width` and     `surface->height`. eg. `rect->left` == `surface->width` && `rect->top` == `surface->height`. In practice     this should cause a crash. This issue has been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are     advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39352)

  - FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
    In affected versions a missing offset validation may lead to an Out Of Bound Read in the function     `gdi_multi_opaque_rect`. In particular there is no code to validate if the value     `multi_opaque_rect->numRectangles` is less than 45. Looping through `multi_opaque_rect->`numRectangles     without proper boundary checks can lead to Out-of-Bounds Read errors which will likely lead to a crash.
    This issue has been addressed in versions 2.11.0 and 3.0.0-beta3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are     no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39356)

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