high Nessus Plugin ID 140751

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4530-1 advisory.

 Wolfgang Schweer discovered that Debian-LAN did not properly handle ACLs for the Kerberos admin server. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to change the passwords of other users, leading to root privilege escalation. (CVE-2019-3467)

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 debian-lan-config package.
