Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7133-1 advisory.

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