Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : DPDK vulnerabilities (USN-4550-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 140923

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4550-1 advisory.

 Ryan Hall discovered that DPDK incorrectly handled vhost crypto. An attacker inside a guest could use these issues to perform multiple attacks, including denial of service attacks, obtaining sensitive information from the host, and possibly executing arbitrary code on the host.

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.
