critical Nessus Plugin ID 141921

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4603-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that MariaDB didn't properly validate the content of a packet received from a server. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to sent a specialy crafted file to cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2020-13249)

 It was discovered that MariaDB has other security issues. An attacker can cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (denial of service). (CVE-2020-15180, CVE-2020-2752, CVE-2020-2760, CVE-2020-2812, CVE-2020-2814)

 In addition to security fixes, the updated packages contain bug fixes, new features, and possibly incompatible changes.

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.
