The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:20.04.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream needrestart package and not the needrestart package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, passes unsanitized data to a library (Modules::ScanDeps) which expects safe input. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. Please see the related CVE-2024-10224 in Modules::ScanDeps.
