The __socket_proto_state_machine function in GlusterFS 3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a "00000000" fragment header.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4770-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled the file creation process. An authenticated attacker     could possibly use this issue to create arbitrary files and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-10923)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled certain inputs. An authenticated attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.
    (CVE-2018-10924)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled RPC requests. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to write files to an arbitrary location and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-10926, CVE-2018-10927,     CVE-2018-10928, CVE-2018-10929, CVE-2018-10930)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled certain files. A remote authenticated attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-14652)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled RPC requests. A remote authenticated attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact. (CVE-2018-14653)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled mount volumes operation. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to create arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.
    (CVE-2018-14654)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled certain files. A remote authenticated attacker could     possibly use this issue to create arbitrary files. (CVE-2018-14659)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled certain inputs. A remote authenticated attacker could     possibly use this is issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.
    (CVE-2018-14660)

    It was discovered that GlusterFS incorrectly handled strings. A remote authenticated attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-14661)

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.

Updated glusterfs packages fix security vulnerability :

glusterfs was vulnerable to a fragment header infinite loop denial of service attack (CVE-2014-3619).

Also, the glusterfsd SysV init script was failing to properly start the service. This was fixed by replacing it with systemd unit files for the service that work properly (mga#14049).

glusterfs was updated to fix a fragment header infinite loop denial of service attack (CVE-2014-3619).
