Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : libvirt vulnerabilities (USN-4047-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 126563

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4047-1 advisory.

 Matthias Gerstner and Jn Tomko discovered that libvirt incorrectly handled certain API calls. An attacker could possibly use this issue to check for arbitrary files, or execute arbitrary binaries. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the libvirt AppArmor profile.

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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
