Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : Nova vulnerability (USN-4104-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 128030

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4104-1 advisory.

 Donny Davis discovered that the Nova Compute service could return configuration or other information in response to a failed API request in some situations. A remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
