Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : Ceph vulnerabilities (USN-4528-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 140730

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-4528-1 advisory.

Adam Mohammed discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled certain CORS ExposeHeader tags. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to preform an HTTP header injection attack. (CVE-2020-10753)

Lei Cao discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled certain POST requests with invalid tagging XML. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Ceph to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-12059)

Robin H. Johnson discovered that Ceph incorrectly handled certain S3 requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a XSS attack. (CVE-2020-1760)

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.
