high Nessus Plugin ID 133647

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-4275-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain PPM images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PPM file, a remote attacker could cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-19872)

 It was discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain text files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted text file, a remote attacker could cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10. (CVE-2019-18281)

 It was discovered that Qt incorrectly searched for plugins in the current working directory. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-0569)

 It was discovered that Qt incorrectly searched for libraries relative to the current working directory. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10.
 (CVE-2020-0570)

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.
