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-4340-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain language values. A local attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause CUPS to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive     information. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 19.10.
    (CVE-2019-2228)

    Stephan Zeisberg discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain malformed ppd files. A local attacker     could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-3898)

This update for cups fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2020-3898: Fixed a heap buffer overflow in     ppdFindOption() (bsc#1168422).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

CVE-2020-3898: Fixed a heap buffer overflow in ppdFindOption() (bsc#1168422).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.13.x prior to 10.13.6 Security Update 2020-002, 10.14.x prior to 10.14.6 Security Update 2020-002, or 10.15.x prior to 10.15.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Insufficient control flow in certain data structures for some Intel(R) Processors with Intel(R) Processor     Graphics may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
    (CVE-2019-14615)

  - ** DISPUTED ** In Sudo through 1.8.29, an attacker with access to a Runas ALL sudoer account can     impersonate a nonexistent user by invoking sudo with a numeric uid that is not associated with any user.
    NOTE: The software maintainer believes that this is not a vulnerability because running a command via sudo     as a user not present in the local password database is an intentional feature. Because this behavior     surprised some users, sudo 1.8.30 introduced an option to enable/disable this behavior with the default     being disabled. However, this does not change the fact that sudo was behaving as intended, and as     documented, in earlier versions. (CVE-2019-19232)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in Bluetooth due to improper input sanitization. An attacker can     exploit this to read restricted memory. (CVE-2019-8853)

  - Privilege escalation vulnerabilities exist in IOThunderboltFamily (due to a use-after-free flaw), and in     CUPS (due to a memory corruption issue). An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated access to the     system. (CVE-2020-3851, CVE-2020-3898)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in FaceTime, Icons, and Call History. An unauthenticated,     local attacker can exploit this, via malicious applications, to disclose potentially sensitive     information. (CVE-2020-3881, CVE-2020-9773, CVE-2020-9776)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Sandbox. A local user can exploit this to view     sensitvie user information. (CVE-2020-3918)

  - An unspecified issue exists in AppleMobileFileIntegrity due to an unspecified reason. An attacker can     exploit this to use arbitrary entitlements. (CVE-2020-3883)

  - An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in Mail due to improper input validation. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary     JavaScript code. (CVE-2020-3884)

  - An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in Time Machine due to improper state management. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this to read arbitrary files and disclose sensitive     information. (CVE-2020-3889)

  - An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in AppleGraphicsControl, Bluetooth, IOHIDFamily, and the     kernel due to memory initialization and corruption issues. An attacker can exploit this to bypass     authentication and execute arbitrary commands with kernel privileges. (CVE-2020-3892, CVE-2020-3893,     CVE-2020-3904, CVE-2020-3905, CVE-2020-3919, CVE-2020-9785)

  - An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in Apple HSSPI Support due to a memory corruption issue.
    An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands with system     privileges. (CVE-2020-3903)

  - A logic issue exists in TCC due to an unspecified reason. An attacker can exploit this, via a maliciously     crafted application, to cause bypass code signing. (CVE-2020-3906)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in Bluetooth due to improper input validation. An unauthenticated local     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service or read kernel memory. (CVE-2020-3907,     CVE-2020-3908, CVE-2020-3912)

  - A buffer overflow condition exists in libxml2 due to improper bounds checking and size validation. An     attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2020-3909, CVE-2020-3910, CVE-2020-3911)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in due to improper permission validation. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, to gain elevated access to the system. (CVE-2020-3913)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the kernel due to improper memory handling. An attacker     can exploit this to read restricted memory. (CVE-2020-3914)

  - An arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability exists in Printing due improper path handlng. An attacker can     exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files. (CVE-2020-3915)

  - Multiple unspecified issues exist in the Vim installation on macOS. An attacker can exploit this to cause     an unknown impact. (CVE-2020-9769)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists in sysdiagnose due to insufficient validation of user supplied input.     An attacker could exploit this issue with partial impact on the confidentiality, integrity & availability     of the application and/or system. (CVE-2020-9786)

  - An vulnerability exists in WebKit due to a logic flaw in restrictions. An attacker may exploit this flaw,     as part of a more elaborate attack, to gain unauthorized access to the MacOS camera. (CVE-2020-9787)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.
