high Nessus Plugin ID 109812

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3646-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled opcache access controls when configured to use PHP-FPM. A local user could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information from another user's PHP applications. (CVE-2018-10545)

 It was discovered that the PHP iconv stream filter incorrect handled certain invalid multibyte sequences.
 A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PHP to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
 (CVE-2018-10546)

 It was discovered that the PHP PHAR error pages incorrectly filtered certain data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a reflected XSS attack. (CVE-2018-10547)

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled LDAP. A malicious remote LDAP server could possibly use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-10548)

 It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain exif tags in JPEG images. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PHP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 17.10, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-10549)

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.
