critical Nessus Plugin ID 126815

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-4063-1 advisory.

 Nils Emmerich discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled LibreLogo scripts. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted document, a remote attacker could cause LibreOffice to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-9848)

 Matei Mal Badanoiu discovered that LibreOffice incorrectly handled stealth mode. Contrary to expectations, bullet graphics could be retrieved from remote locations when running in stealth mode.
 (CVE-2019-9849)

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.
