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

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-4604-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in MySQL and this update includes new upstream MySQL versions to     fix these issues.

    MySQL has been updated to 8.0.22 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.10. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04     LTS have been updated to MySQL 5.7.32.

    In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly     incompatible changes.
